local and networked X connections

I'm trying to track my long-standing core dump in make-frame-on-display, and I'm getting a bit confused with the concepts of 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 ? While I can understand that local X devices (with unix sockets) are different from networked one, I can hardly understand why the last call returns nil. Please enlighten my soul. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T. INF C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel.
