If you are connecting to X, it doesn't matter. You can attack all other X11 clients by design. This is why GNOME is pushing so heavily on xdg-app (for the sandbox) and the wayland-enabled GNOME shell (so apps can't snoop on each other).

Subuser uses XPRA, so it shouldn't suffer from this problem: http://subuser.org/news/0.3.html#the-xpra-x11-bridge
Wayland doesn't have the Xinput disaster.
