I need to allow remote applications to connect to xorg. Since I log in using lxdm i have tcp_listen=1 in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf. Thus Xorg is running without -nolisten tcp flag. Unfortunately:

$ xhost +localhost; DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 xterm
localhost being added to access control list
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0

Any suggestions??

Did you check port 6000?
root@pc6:~# netstat -anp | grep 6000
tcp   0   0 0.0.0.0:6000   0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   2684/Xorg
tcp6  0   0 :::6000        :::*        LISTEN   2684/Xorg
