Could you eloborate on what security problems you see with using GPM?
I use it regularly because it allows for sharing the mouse between
multiple X and text applications. Also, I think there is some way of
enabling the GPM protocol in xterms, but I never really understood
that part; this is probably what would be most useful for XEmacs,
though.
