On the topic of Input Managers, it would be fine with me if Apple
did away with this blatant security hole altogether.
I can think of zero real reasons to have it around still, which
couldn't be addressed via more secure means, or by the individual
application developers.
They are in the process of doing just that, I think you'll find. It's
just that, rather than removing them instantly, they've been
deprecated and replaced with an alternative and more secure mechanism
(Input Servers, if I remember rightly). In some future version of Mac
OS X, I think you can expect to see them go away.
This was noted in the 10.5 AppKit release notes, which said:
"The automatic loading of bundles located in InputManagers folders is
now officially unsupported. The conditions for valid input manager
bundle is further tightened. This functionality is likely to be
disabled in a future release."
Kind regards,
Alastair.
