Looking at some code I wrote some months ago, I'd say it works like this:
Having got a socket listening somewhere, use XtAppAddInput. Then a 
callback will be started whenever there is a possibility to read from
the socket. In this callback, accept the data and close the accepting 
socket after having read whatever comes from the other application.

Hope this helps, Joerg Bredno in Aachen (germany)
