Package: torsocks
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
      tryed to use torsocks with x server on an ssh session
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
      see console output later in this message
   * What was the outcome of this action?
      that it would work as usual
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
      got an connection error while i tryed to start x program

i tryed to use torsocks on ssh with x forward enabled (-X) but i failed for an unknown reason. I guess the it failed because the port number which is used for xserver on :10 is to high and so to that not whitelisted. Please check that out and fix that. here ill send you some terminal output which discribes the problem precicely.
