After rebuilding the latest xfree, I am no longer able to use XNest or import (image magick). Doing so results in a protocol error. While I do not need the ipv6, I was merely testing it, I thought I would file this report since the patch seems to stamp on ipv4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="ipv6" emerge -u xfree 2. startx 3. import -silent -display (address) -window root address:display test.jpg Actual Results: _X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/192.168.10.10:0 import: UnableToOpenXServer (192.168.10.10:0) [Address family not supported by p rotocol].

Peter, suggestions?
I happened upon this via Google. Could this be more relevant? [long url follows] http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:IEbf1EB8Iz4J:www.t8o.org/~mca1001/fixed/+X11TransSocketOpen:+socket()+failed+for+tcp&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
well, basically, the patch does that. before xfree-4.4 comes out, the ipv6 patch should get integrated. x.org knows about the issue, and they're going to patch the patch. nothing to do but wait, really.
I also have ipv6 enabled in this xfree. Could this explain why it seems to take a much longer time for most apps to open? Seems to be a much larger delay than -r2 with ipv6 enabled as well.
Since it should be apperent to anyone using the ipv6 flag that some apps wont work without the module loaded I'm going to suggest that a notice be placed before the build starts reminding folks to load the module first or some stuff wont work (Xnest, import (ImageMagick), etc.). This really isn't a bug per-se anyway ;-)
This is well over a year old without a comment. Does anyone object to this being closed?
not really a bug, so closing
