"my UNIX password keeps getting IM'd to people because I
use rdesktop to get to MSN messenger on a Windows machine"

"If I make an desktop connection to a Windows XP box fire up
Word and any document, then lock the Fedora Gnome desktop,
type my password into the XscreenSaver dialog window to
unlock Gnome my password shows up in plain text within Word
in the rdesktop connection."
