Hi Jakob What would you need vnc for in this case? I understand that people would like to use UDP (even if it would not work with the current vnc protocol), but unix sockets is very strange to me.
I mean a unix socket is only local to your local computer. I do not understand this request. :) Thanks for the report though.
