I'm thinking more in principle than specifics...  If xeyes could do it,
so could something else, so one might forbid the practice in general. 
Which leaves you with two approaches, allowing certain exceptions, or
never allowing dual monitoring of movements.  Which one would be easier
and safer?

It's one thing to observe the mouse has moved, to nudge the screensaver
timer, for instance.  But it's another thing to track the movements
precisely.

Tangentially related, nefarious keylogging springs to mind.  If only
one thing at a time could monitor what you type, and nothing else could
pretend to be a keyboard and pass them through, software key loggers
would be harder to implement.  Your key entries only going into what
you intend them to.  Something that tried to intercept them would
apparently stop the keyboard from working - your typing wouldn't appear
where you expected it to, as you typed.

Of course that would break global hotkeys, and on-screen keyboards.

Ideas about security always seem to mess up something else.  SELinux is
like that.

Not obvious.
Presumably most GUIs would need to monitor the mouse.
Presumably most GUIs would be started by the owner of the mouse.
If xeyes is not allowed, presumably gnome-screenshot --include-pointer
is not allowed either.
If the issue is looking outside one's window,
presumably gnome-screenshot is not allowed at all.


e.g. On screen keyboards for password entry.  Or those /draw a shape/
with your mouse instead of typing a password.

Once home computers went away from being an isolated box (with no
network, and no exchange of any data in any way with other devices),
more thought needs to go into the design of everything running on it.

virtualbox is not a Fedora issue.

I am Ok with upgrading headless servers; but not workstations with

machines which are used daily.


All the Fedora provided desktop software that I've used so far works 
great in F40.  And no issues with running it under qemu/kvm.

AFAIK that was fixed almost immediately after it was announced.


xv is maintained by a github group named "jasper-software".
The current release is v5.0.0, less than 3 months ago.
There was a significant enhancement almost a year ago to support "webp" images.

The web site for this xv is here:
"https://github.com/jasper-software/xv;.

It appears to be free and open-source, but I'm not certain.  If it is, I wonder 
if it should still be in rpm-nonfree or somewhere else.

I have not been able to get a working system on Virtual Box due to video
problems. Here are the latest problem: , <
https://ibb.co/mG9sL8H> and . The last image,
VvCKkKx, is after an install and then a 'dnf upgrade'.

You mean xz? xv was a pretty cool (but not open source) image viewer
back in the day. :) 

as far as xz, for F40, the affected version was only in updates-testing
for a short time, it never reached stable. The downgrade to the
older version was pushed later in the day that the announcement came out
about it.

I've seen same thing. Sometimes go back to notebook, and moving 
mouse has password prompt come up, but nothing types. Switching 
to another terminal Ctrl-Alt-F3, and then typing somethine works, 
then going back to GUI screen allows typing the password. So why 
keyboard gets lost??

Just an FYI that KeePass is failing to run on my recently upgraded Fedora
40 machine.  I'm not sure of the correct place to report the issue.

It was on the Fedora Announce list yesterday. Surprised it didn't
appear here as well as it usually does.

I've updated to F40. Everything works as expected, (I don't have an
Nvidia card at present so YMMV). I do have some comments on the new
KDE/Plasma but I'll post on the Fedora KDE list after a bit more
testing.

You mean Nvidia problems? Nothing reported on the fedora forum that is negative,
beyond the traditional upgrade not setting up the drives in the upgrade that is 
easy to fix.

Lots of people have working nvidia in f40.

Hi All,

Fedora 39
anydesk-6.3.2-1.el7.x86_64
lightdm-1.32.0-7.fc39.x86_64

Any idea why the keyboard and the onscreen keyboard
wont let me type my password into lightdm's password
prompt.


Why, no.  Possible workaround.

I had similar problem with lightdm a while back.  On
reboot I had a list of users and my id was highlighted.

The password field accepted no input.  If I used mouse
to select different user I could login as that user.
Or I could just click back to my id and the password
field was working.

Also VT's worked fine and on return my password field
worked.
