start an application under X11

Hi all,
i have installed my last slackware distro with Gnome.
Everything works fine.
Now I need to start from console, (gnome is not running) an X application,
let's say as example xclock.
I try to make a script like this:

X -ac
export DISPLAY = 127.0.0.1:0.0
xclock

But when i start it, X11 starts well but no Xclock is running, then i escape
and it says can't open 127.0.0.1 display.
Please any good advice?


thanks a lot to all ppl!
