Hello.
Here are some results concerning my display settings. I think I have tried to override
the naming of the display /unix:0 from the xauth command, but I did't manage to do so.
I do however remember that at a time, before I installed XQuartz, the display was named with a
tempfile first and then :0.
# The result from the different steps in XQuartz faq:
[1] :0
[2] /.bashrc:# export DISPLAY=:0.0 (It is commented out.)
[3] none
[4] ssh -Y remote (no output)
[5-6] I have no remote connections.
# I did one more grep however:
grep -r DISPLAY /opt/X11/lib/X11 /etc 2>/dev/null

I believe the normal way that Apple defines their X listeners is as LaunchAgents with SecureSocketWithKey, which creates a domain socket in a randomly named directory created by launchd for each session, whose name is inherited by those jobs but not the user.

My understanding is that you have to create new app and/or bundle names for this to spawn additional Xserver instances, otherwise you'll use what's already there if it's running or launch it if it's not.

Mollison's Bureaucracy Hypothesis:
If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review
