[Xcb] xcb_parse_display and _xcb_open on Mac OS X

Folks,
The DISPLAY environment variable on my MacBook is
"/tmp/launch-3qqko3/:0" (which is the literal file-path in I need to
connect to).
I'm running on an Intel with OS 10.5.
xcb_parse_display and _xcb_open don't seem to be too happy about this
- xcb_parse_display dumps "/tmp/launch-3ppko3" into the protocol
field, and then _xcb_open_unix isn't happy at all about that and
doesn't connect.
Details:
xcb_parse determines that:
host -> ""
protocol -> "/tmp/launch-3qqko3"
display: null pointer
screen: 0
and so _xcb_open forwards me on to _xcb_open_unix which bounces me
because protocol is not equal to "unix".
Has anyone else run into anything like this? Should I be opening a
connection some other way?
Thanks,
Antoine
