Yes, every day.:-)

Well, it is the same problem as finding out if a TCP/IP socket is connected to 
a remote system or not.  You can get the remote peer address for the socket 
and compare that to the local address(es).  If the X connection isn't a TCP/IP 
socket, then it is local (i.e. Unix socket).
