I'll bite: Wassa matter with xeyes?
My guess would be that something monitoring mouse movements when those
mouse movements could be related to another app is considered insecure.
Well, *I* would consider it insecure if any app could see what I was
doing with the mouse at any time.
Not obvious.
Presumably most GUIs would need to monitor the mouse.
Presumably most GUIs would be started by the owner of the mouse.
If xeyes is not allowed, presumably gnome-screenshot --include-pointer
is not allowed either.
If the issue is looking outside one's window,
presumably gnome-screenshot is not allowed at all.
e.g. On screen keyboards for password entry. Or those /draw a shape/
with your mouse instead of typing a password.
