I'll see that when the time comes. I sincerely hope that X11 isn't
going to abandon the notion that :0 is the local display!

My login scripts handle a whole slew of DISPLAY values, many
corresponding to machines that no longer exist (the oldest probably
being the Mac IIx running A/UX I did my thesis on...).
Yes, I should prune the code, but I'd rather not have to handle
DISPLAY values starting with "/tmp/launch-" followed by something
apparently random...

Sure. Isn't that great? :P The only start-on-demand I need is when I
click on the X icon in the dock... (I've been spending most of my time
exclusively in fullscreen X11 for years...)
> What happens when you get unlucky and your display is actually ":1" ... ?
Well, since the other day, that means I only load my resource
database, start my nice lite window manager (ctwm), and an rclock to
keep the server from exiting, instead of launching a more complete
environment... Which seems perfectly appropriate, since from what I
remember of the X11 specifications, there will not be a :1 display
without an already existing :0 O:-)
(but then, I think the secondary head on my system's primary X11
server could also have been :0.1 rather than a part of :0.0 that I can
only identify via Xinerama...)
