Problem with -multiwindow and -clipboard when using -nolisten tcp

I'm trying to turn off the tcp port for Cygwin/X.  I would like to just 
close it down on the outside interface and still have it listen on the 
loopback device.  I have not been able to find a way to do that.  The 
closest thing I could find is to turn off tcp all together.  This does 
work.  I'm able to bring up xterms and the whole deal.  I get odd 
behavior after that.  The xterm allows me to copy and paste within the 
window, but it doesn't copy to the Microsoft Windows clipboard.   The x 
button on the upper right corner of the xterm also does not work.  You 
can only open one xterm or other type of xforwarding because multiwindow 
hasn't loaded.  Is there a setting to tell multiwindow and clipboard 
where the display is?  I can see them trying to access the loopback. 
Here is output from my xwin.log:

I can see the clipboard and multiwin try and use the loopback and fail. 
  Is there something I'm missing?  Can I use loopback without the 
outside interface listening?
