If the public PC is not under your control (eg. Internetcafé )
there is not way to eliminate this risk.

But I know there are people out there travelling a lot and using
a "one password" per login list like a transcation number.

So you login and the next time this password is not guilty anymore.

That is the only way to assure that someone reading your password
with the keylogger can´t gain access after you logged off.

This works of cause only for a customized webapp. MSN and other popular
webmailer don´t support AFAIK.
