No, it was specifically about xterm's action string() as was visible by reading the text I quoted. My intention was to explain why this specific thing isn't harmful if used propperly, i.e. only oneself has access to the X server when logged in. > Can we put this to sleep now? For a generic terminal it was at sleep for me already as I know about the problem for at least a decade. I just didn't see anybody saying a word about xterm's action string() and as I know that these things can sometimes be hard to understand I just wanted to give some help for those trying.
