For the last couple of days, I've been running xfce and using
xfce-terminal (old 4.12).  And a lot of the time, when I try to
paste something I get pop-up warnings:

 Warning: Unsafe Paste

 Pasting this text to the terminal may be dangerous as it looks like
 soem commands may be executed, potentially involving root access
 ('sudo')

 [ followed by all, or the start of, what I want to paste ]

That one was from a log owned by lfs:root, and the text was:

********************************************************************
*
*   Running LibreOffice build configuration.
*
********************************************************************

But I also get this for a line from a term running as ken:

ken@plexi ~ $ls -l notes/testing/august-19/pygtk 
-rw-r--r-- 1 ken users 7618 Aug  4 20:51
notes/testing/august-19/pygtk

On desktops I mostly run icewm, but on my laptop I use xfce (it
solves copy+paste issues with the trackpad) and I've not seen this
message there.  I'm guessing it might be aconsequence of using
elogind ?

Not every paste into xfce-terminal on this desktop generates this,
but so far most of them do.
