A malicious client may be eavesdropping

Could not grab keyboard focus - when I tried to open Software Manager (Mint 18). It says that a malicious client may be eavesdropping or some window just got focused.

In my Window Manager settings I have,

Checked: Automatically give focus to newly created windows.
Checked: Automatically raise windows when they receive focus

Delay is set to 0.

In Window Manager Tweaks I have,

Checked: Activate Focus Stealing Prevention
Checked: Honor standard ICCCM focus hint

Re: A malicious client may be eavesdropping

Have a look at this comprehensive answer from askubuntu.

In the answer there,
After step 1, i got to know that the process are ssh-askpass-gnome and libgksu2.so

I removed ssh-askpass-gnome and
I got the list of following processes using libgksu2.so

But how do I figure out the suspicious process?

Re: A malicious client may be eavesdropping

This isn't really an Xfce issue. You may be able to get assistance asking at your distro's help forum.
