Well, if you code something better than vte, we may consider it ;)

Without joking, if all terminal emulators have the problems, we can't 
really do anything. Anyway, the regular user is not supposed to use it. 
And for the "security" issue, it is only a problem if you print a 
password on the screen, or a secret key. It is dangerous to keep your 
ssh keys on your computer too. And I'm not even speaking about the risk 
that someone look at your fingers when you type something with your 
keyboard.

Let's hope we'll have mind recognition for Luna, it is the only safe way 
I see :P


So, yes, it is a problem, but well, if someone stole your computer, the 
files that aren't written on the disk anymore are not the first problem 
(like I said, he has access to all your ssh keys, data, etc... if your 
home is not crypted).

And what can we have instead of libvte? (real question, I'm not aware of 
any other library?)
