And why would you want to do that?  The reason I ask is because in the
past I've used the trick of setting display to mymachine:0 to deal
with "energizer bunby sindrome" and to cure some of the bugs which
made XEmacs hang if run over SHM transport. IMO, if user asked for a
display to point to host, just point to host and don't try to second
guess her intentions, she knows best, really.
