Comment (by nigel):

 The patch looks correct (although I would shorten to just if (!d) return
 0; ), but I have been unable to reproduce the fault. ''e.g.'' on an ssh
 into a working setup:
 {{{
 $ mythfrontend -display :4
 mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server :4
 $ mythfrontend --version
 mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server
 }}}
 or after Ctrl-Alt-F1 on the same machine:
 {{{
 $ mythfrontend -display :0
 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
 Xlib: No protocol specified

 mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server :0
 $
 }}}
 This was with something slightly newer than 0.20, but nothing much seems
 to have changed in the X chicken-and-egg startup.

 Note also that -display and --display behave slightly differently. One
 uses Qt first, one doesn't
