Currently, it seems that the X V10.4 XOpenDisplay requires
either an argument or an environment variable, and if both of
of them are missing, or if a display number is not given,
then XOpenDisplay will fail.  My question is: isn't it
reasonable for it to assume the current host and display 0
if either or both are missing?
