Likely KDE exploit on 4.1



I now consider it extremely likely that there is a new KDE exploit
which can be exploited on release 4.1. After having trouble with
the mouse cursor having a mind of its own on my system upgraded to
4.1, I reinstalled all of 4.1 + packages from scratch. I then created
a test user and started kde from that user. The cursor immediately
and repeatably started moving counter to my own motion and away
from a button I wanted to click on. Other evidence suggests to me
that an intruder has a control over my desktop, possibly via a
duplicate display. This problem with the mouse makes the entire
X/kde graphics interface unusable for me. Fortunately I can do
almost everything I need to in console mode, although operating
without konqueror is painful.
