Does anybody even use this feature anymore?
It is another pet beef=2C though. Most Linux desktop distributions disable =

the

TCP connections to the X server anyway so the features of '-X' are rendered

obsolete.
There are naturally good reasons for this: if audio people are concerned ab=

out

system security aspects of RT_PRIO and SCHED_FIFO/RR then the TCP access

issues are an even greater concern. Based on the fact that a generation of

users don't see the point=2C windows doesn't do it=2C iOS doesn't do it the=

n there is

not a lot of point that Linux carry the flag for a solution to a problem th=

at=20

people don't have anymore.
