So, I'm trying to come up with a patch for this. What's the right way, using low-level socket calls, to connect to the X server, given the "/tmp/launch-XXXXXX/:0" display value?

I've tried this (where "host" is the "/tmp/launch-XXXXXX/" string):

 if (uname[0] == 'Darwin') and host.startswith('/tmp/'):
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    s.connect(host)

But I get error 38, 'Socket operation on non-socket'.

The :0 is part of the path.

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect("/tmp/launch-whatever/:0")
