Yes, that's a really bad error message. My reaction would be "What
nonsense is that? I haven't swapped any clients." If it had at least
said "byte-swapped" it would probably have gotten me searching in the
right direction, but if the X server wants to be helpful it should say
"big/little-endian mismatch; the option AllowSwappedClients is off".
