Thanks, I've changed the error message to say `byte-swapped`, it hasn't
been merged upstream yet after all. This particular message is handled
in the DDX-independent bits though (shared code for Xorg, Xwayland,
etc.), the option AllowSwappedClients only exists for Xorg since the
other X server don't have an xorg.conf.

Cheers,
