Do you have many programs that call getpeername on the file descriptor
returned from XOpenDisplay()? I've not seen programs before that do
that, beyond a couple special debugging/tracing type programs. The
underlying transport method Xlib uses is subject to change, and this
isn't the first time - Solaris 2.6 added named pipe transport for
local connections for instance.
