At least not here. I use openbox and start it using startx opening aterms then. It contains the dot. Well as long as a terminal is open, if none is open there is no display set in who. I talked about this problem at the FOSDEM with an xorg developer and he told me that there is no sane way to get the X displays. He asked me to write a mail to the xorg developers list to point them to the factt that this is needed for valid reasons. This has not been done yet because this is a subscriber-only list and I don't really want to subscribe just to send one mail. Anyone subscribed on the xorg list?
