Glad to see this reposted(although it being this specific article is of no particular value, there are other articles on this which don't have such shameless plugs).
We now have Wayland well on its way to replacing X(I'd say within two to three years, some users won't ever know they're running Wayland), and from what I can tell, it will offer fairly good isolation for input.
Another important step is graphics drivers being cleaned up to improve isolation between graphical clients. For the time being, though, I can create a GL context and not draw anything, but still see parts of the framebuffer in my context, which I find giggle-worthy.
I think the basic problem here is that graphics systems are hard enough to make work at all, let alone make secure. I will probably not trust a system this complex to protect input or content for a long time, if ever.
