Well, note the difference:

* login-fake-program-0 is simply a normal user program, which displays
  a login screen and receives the password.  No special privileges or
  deep system modifications are necessary.  This program will not
  survive ctrl-alt-del.

* login-fake-program-1 is (as you said) a program, which has such a
  power over the system that it can manipulate OS internal function
  pointers.
