Could you please explain why this change is needed and what the effect
of not having it is?  Thanks.

This patch adds support for "on demand" X11 (via launchd) to ssh. 
When
an attempt is made to communicate with the socket, launchd launches
X11.

Without this patch, the DISPLAY environment variable is not properly
forwarded and X11 can't be launched (i.e. "Error: Can't open
display:").

So it's simply special-casing a $DISPLAY of /tmp/launch/whatever as
being a Unix domain socket?

In that case I still don't see why the change is needed.  Couldn't you
get the same effect simply by setting $DISPLAY to
unix:/tmp/launch/whatever?

Oh, hang on, the "unix:" display spec doesn't support a pathname.

apart from wrapping the check for /tmp/launch in an #ifdef __APPLE__

I'm not wild about having the path hard coded but since launchd seems
to work that way it's ok by me.

Oh, and style says blank line in connect_local_xsocket after the
variable declaration.
