Why would local apps need TCP support? I'm pretty much always running X with nolisten tcp on my box, unless I know I'm gonna need to do X forwarding over SSH (ie. never).

Can't remember how it's supposed to work right now, but local apps should use the local unix socket AFAIK, not a TCP socket :?.
