Hi folks.
I've taken my courage in both hands and started an X11 dissector. A
preliminary version (client to server with Intel byte ordering) should
be available in about two weeks. I've come on a little problem
however. I'd like to use FT_STRING for X11 strings. However, FT_STRING
are null terminated, while X11 strings are not (the length is stored
elsewhere in the packet). So do you think that it's worth a new type
(FT_ARRAY or whatever), or may be a new representation for FT_STRING,
or do you think that the problem is too specific to justify a change
in proto.c ?

Best regards,
