Bug description

Full_Name: Philippe Lelédy
Version: 0caml 3.0.8+2
OS: MacOS X
Submission from: trudaine-3-82-67-204-75.fbx.proxad.net (82.67.204.75)

The documentation says:

open_graph "foo:0"
connects to the display foo:0 and creates a window with the default geometry

but I understand that it's the only primitive that allow the choice of the X11
display, afterwards, all primitives will refer implicitely to that display.

What only experience shows is that this restriction also apply (at least for the
interactive toplevel) to subsequent open_graph occurences, that is the display
specification is ignored on subsequent invocations of open_graph. So there is a
state change at the first open_graph that can't be reversed except by cancelling
the toplevel.

The same apply when changin the DISPLAY envrionment variable.

If its'nt a bug documentation should say that the first open_graph is the only
one when you can choice the display.

I'll try on Linux.
