i figure you'll get enough comments about the security, so i'll refrain..  
however, i would like to point out that your .bashrc isn't really a good 
place to put that to have it run automatically.  you should put it either 
in your .xinitrc or .xsession.  if you have it in your bashrc, it's run 
every time you open a new shell (including if you login remotely).  the 
xinitrc is run when you start x from the console and the xsession is run 
when you log in via xdm/kdm/gdm/whatever.
