--- Comment #23 from Sergio <[email protected]> ---
This bug should probably have its severity risen, having it as normal is
misleading. IMHO, issues that impact security related features should be given
a high priority, and the "remote control requested" *is* an important security
feature. Creating the premises so that the users *learn to disregard* dialogs
asking for permissions to be granted and allow permissions by default since the
dialog appears spuriously should be regarded as a security problem. It is
probably a fortunate (rather than unfortunate) coincidence that even when users
allow the permission the system tray icon does not work anyway, otherwise many
users would now take for granted that permission requests from systray icons
must *always* be allowed because of bugs.

A few questions:
1. Is there the possibility for the xembedsniproxy to do something else rather
than using XTest to propagate events to the applications? From the comments
below, this seems to be the case.
2. Apparently this issue is specific to plasma, how do other DEs deal with the
problem? Using something else rather than XTest?
3. If the XTest mechanism is the only possible one, then the problem is clearly
with XWayland. Has a bug been opened for it? Can it be tracked here?
