I'm sorry; I didn't mean to mislead. I did say "bugs/RFEs", and it was just an example.

Personally, I count the first two as bugs and only the last as an RFE — I do consider the forwarding of X clients to the "wrong" display to be a bug rather than a missing feature, and it isn't so much of a hack to use our own locally-generated MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE to differentiate between clients. I thought your objection was mostly that we have a similar bug with agent forwarding which is harder to fix, and that fixing one but not the other would be inconsistent, even though the agent forwarding bug is much less often an issue (in my experience, never). But this probably isn't the correct forum for that discussion.

I could perhaps have also included bug #1349, but I haven't been carrying that patch in my builds for so long.

Anyway, those are just in my personal builds. The important thing is that we get everything from the distribution(s) properly considered for merging upstream. There are too many patches outstanding for my liking, for whatever reasons.
