At least not yet in the wild. But this will certainly change once the Linux desktop marketshare significantly increases.
Nowadays creation and distribution of viruses/trojans is mostly driven by commercial interests. Why shoud virus authors bother to write viruses for Linux when the >95% Windows users are an easier, more profitable and much bigger target?
