Thanks! I think this will help me with my problem.

I had to start a 2nd X server to test this, though. Nowadays, X starts 
with '-nolisten tcp' option, and so there is no communication over port 
6000. But when I started another X server manually, and changed the 
DISPLAY variable from ':1' to 'localhost:1', I saw the X traffic on port 
6001.

Thanks again,
