As I understand it, to listen on an IP address or a network, you'd use a
<listen> child node to the <graphics> node. This patch sets the 'listen'
attribute on the <graphics> node, which is only about listening on an IP
address if I didn't miss anything (?).

<listen> nodes would be handled in a separate class, but there could
indeed be an ambiguity between a setter for an object of this type, and
this API.

It seems it's not necessarily an IP address but this can be a hostname if
the .rng is to be trusted. I had in the back of my mind the possibility of
adding _set_listen_address which accepts a GInetAddress or something like
that (just vague thoughts, I don't have a clear idea about that ;). So
maybe _set_listen_str would work to avoid the ambiguity? Though as I write
this mail, this looks weird too...
