|     Leaving the fd open means we still get keyboard events after VT switching
|     away. Coming back, some of these events are replayed on the application that

|     1. open terminal, focus.
|     2. VT switch away
|     3. type something, preferably a password
|     4. VT switch back, trigger a mouse event
|     5. Observe the X server guessing your password.

in conjunction with gpm paste events.
