xinit is ignoring -displayfd option

xinit is ignoring -displayfd option

[Matt D.]

I'm not sure at what release this bug appeared as my .display already 
existed with the value '0' which masked the problem. When I ran xinit on 
a system without a .display already present caused some of my scripts to 
fail as this file is no longer created due to the wrong fd being used.

Here is the output of xinit:

I assume you want to point out the creation of "/home/.display" from the
xinit redirect.  You should have just said so.  You could have also just
pasted the contents of the output in the email instead of putting it in
pastebin.
