What you probably want here instead is:
xhost +local:
then the X app is not limited to using only IP but can choose whichever
transport it deems best. Of course the usual safety caveats apply. If
others are on your host, they'll have X access. If you're concerned
about that, then just give root permission:
xhost SI:localuser:root
