XWin -multiwindow or -clipboard will not be compatible with -nolisten tcp, as 
those options start clients (the Windows window manager integration window 
manager and the clipboard integration, respectively) which expect to be able 
to connect to the X server via TCP.

I suppose this is a bug, in the sense that we ought to detect the incompatible 
arguments and terminate with an error, but anyone using -nolisten tcp should, 
I hope, be able to interpret the output from the server (saying "I tried to 
connect to 127.0.0.1:0.0 and failed") to work out what the problem is :-)
