            Bug ID: 203826
           Summary: x11-servers/xorg-server In X server after 1.17,
                    default configuration is now -nolisten tcp
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

In X server 1.14.7, X server has listened on tcp 6000 port by default. But
after update to 1.17.2, X server has no longer lisened on tcp port. Then, if
user starts his/her own .xinit scripts with setting DISPLAY as hostname:n
style, cliants in script cannot connect to X server, so exit X session soon.

I think this change of behavior is not a bug, but I think it is better to
mention it in ports UPDATING file.
