You're right actually. Or might be. It is likely not spyware in itself, |
| 15 |
but it surely is spyware enabler. Like dbus and all of poetterware. |

And about xorg. Everybody uses it, I do too. Minimalistically. Just |
| 18 |
enough to have, say Firefox and Wireshark, and a good *nix programs that |
| 19 |
need gui. But I'd think the possibilities for spying-required remote |
| 20 |
connections with xorg are nowhere near to what poetterware and |
| 21 |
associates offer. That's why they came into existance, after all. |

But you are free to disagree. |
