Exactly. So, this is exactly why I closed the bug and I see no point
discussing forever to just discover that login can be mimiced.

So what?

GDM also can be mimiced, as well ass any other program or stuff
requiring people to type in passwords.

So, I see really no point in us wasting valuable time discussing this
issue.

Other people are welcomed to do so=A0: on my side, I won't comment
anymore.

Please close this bug when all hairs have been careully cut in four
parts (typical French joke).
