I hope that every one will pull together and implement a library for dealing
with the issue Markus mentioned.  After all that's why we have APIs, YMMV.

Damien, shared memory has little to do with what type of socket you use :)  The
problem is not that X is bigger than Y, but that Y can be made smaller thus
effecting Z, where Y + X = Z.

on some operating systems there is a performance benefit to using PF_UNIX,
others will just direct you to some sort of network loopback or lack support :))

xlibs that support only XiG or XFree86 servers DO conflict with ssh, thay should
be replaced when using ssh -X.

I'd like to help, if there are any other problems in getting this into ssh
drop
me a line.  I think taking some of a fully functionaly Xserver and making it
into a lib for it to share with ssh would be a big leap in the right direction.
 Any one mind the way Xfree86 sets up sockets and manages connections?

Again, please tell us what performance benefit you are expecting.

The difference between unix domain socket and local TCP socket latencies is in
the order of microseconds.

Using Domain sockets will not improve anything. Reopen if you have a patch and 
hard proof this is even worth looking at.
