Depending on what exactly you need to do, you might be better off just 
using i.e. xmond or xscope. You won't need to modify the server source then.
There's also an xcb based one in the works, haven't tried it yet.

ReadRequestFromClient() in os/io.c, that should cover pretty much 
everything.

and AllocNewConnection() of course.
