[Xcb] [PATCH] libX11/libxcb no longer supports unix: notation

[Matthias Hopf]

This has been discussed in Novell' bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=289007

Also, a similar change has been introduced to non-XCB libX11 lately
(Mail by Kean Johnston on 17 Jul 2007 on xorg ML).


Looks like new libX11/libxcb no longer supports unix: notation in
$DISPLAY (used in a lot of scripts). How to reproduce: 

DISPLAY=unix:0 xterm

old libX11 w/o libxcb: works
new libX11 / libxcb:   xterm Xt error: Can't open display: unix:0


The attached patch from Egbert fixes this for libxcb. If there's no
objection against it, I'll push this next week.

CU
