On Linux (in recent versions), Xorg listens on both a Unix domain socket on the filesystem (/tmp/.X11-unix/X) and in the _abstract_ domain (shown as @/tmp/.X11-unix/X in netstat output). It also listens on TCP (port 6000 + ). One can stop it from listening on TCP by adding a -nolisten tcp, but how can we tell it not to listen on the abstract namespace?
