@metux @b-aaz @cepelinas9000 @X11Libre/dev Thoughts on this? Do you think this is useful/makes sense?

I'd rather prefer adding an _XSERVTransCloseExec() function instead. Note that in the longer run, I'd like to get rid of xtrans entirely.

What will it be replaced by? pure bsd sockets?

yes, possibly with some little wrappers for win32 like we already have (ossock.c, etc)
