12 I'm not sure, I no longer have access to 10.4 for testing, but I think
13 that the new DISPLAY variable was only introduced in 10.5. From what
14 I saw of the code enabling it only seems to make the connection
15 process try the new DISPLAY variable format (which just points to a
16 different socket then the normal unix socket DISPLAY variable I
17 guess), so it shouldn't break anything if the support is there.

19 Do we have any 10.4 users who could test this out?
