Re: local and networked X connections

I'm trying to track my long-standing core dump in

console and device connection under X.
My machine is called metheny:
xemacs -vanilla
M-x (find-device "metheny:0") => #<x-device blahb;ah>
M-x (find-device ":0") => nil
M-x (find-console "metheny:0") => #<x-device blahb;ah>
M-x (find-console ":0") => nil
Isn't there something bogus here ?
Not really. XEmacs isn't alone in treating "hostname:0" differently to
":0" regardless of whether `hostname' refers to the local system.
Note that it does treat ":0" as equivalent to both "localhost:0" and
"127.0.0.1:0", which (IMHO) it probably shouldn't.
