Aren't those related to the RPC protocol - we explicitly have to enabled
rpcbind and I think some services like cmsd and ttdbserver run over
Sun RPC. We won't see those in FreeBSD as a dependency because the XDR/RPC
stack is part of libc.

Let me fantasize here a bit, since we have no clue what is going on.

I think should be possible to trace X11 the events going back and forth (something
like "xev" is doing). I forgot how to do this but I am pretty sure
this can be done.

Maybe some another freedesktop "improvement" causes some changes about
how and which events are reported, for example CDE thinks it receives
a keystroke on a selection and erases the text. Just a wild guess.
