    Is there a better way to send data between clients or am I on the
    right track.

Yes, don't use X for this purpose, use a real IPC mechanism (e.g. RPC).
X is not a general-purpose communications mechanism, and shouldn't be
abused as one.  (Remember, you asked for "better", not "more practical
and equally portable". :-)
