On my desktop, abstract namespace sockets are twice more popular than the regular ones:

Most uses are from dbus, but I'm also seeing gnome-session and gvfsd-trash.
Of these being used, dbus is correctly implemented, since it randomizes the socket name. Same for gdm.
Misusing are ICE, X11, nspluginwrapper at least, since they do not use a random socket name but a fixed one, hence opening the door to DoS attacks.
