Please reply to me, as I am not on the list.

I want to have a 'pipe fitting' between the xclient and the server.

so I wrote myself a little program that listen'd on the X sockets
(inet and unix)
and forwarded data (on a per connection bases) to another program that
then connected (once per orgininal connection) to the real X socket.

This reliably either crashes the machine (if I use unix sockets for
the real X connection), or hangs or crashes the X server.

I do not look for out of band messages, but in my grepping through the
Xlib source, I saw nothing that would indicate that OOB's were used.

I am fairly certain that all data written by the client is recieved by
the real X server, and that the client would get anything that my pipe
fitting saw from the server.
