You are correct, the 127.0.0.1 is hard-coded.  Perhaps we should try 
loading the DISPLAY environment variable and using that instead, but 
that is not currently a feature in the code.  It could essentially be 
copied and pasted from xwinclip into the relevant portion of 
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin.
