I had wondered about that too.  However the OP also said:

... I am able to generate an xterm window from another modern computer 
on the network "xterm -display 192.168.1.1:1.0".

So that purported success seems to indicate that there is both something 
listening on :1 (6001) and that it's listening on more than 127.0.0.1.
