ifconfig is a tool to examine network interfaces on the server it's run from. Not much use for you as you are looking for the IP you are coming _from_.
I'd suggest using the 'who' command and picking your username out via a grep.
An alternative solution would be to enable PuTTY's built in X11 forwarding and use that instead. It's usually easier to do and will also encrypt your X11 data - generally a good thing.

libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex
libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(3) libssh2 manual libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(3)
NAME
libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex - request an X11 forwarding channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int single_connection, const char *auth_proto, const char *auth_cookie, int
screen_number);
int libssh2_channel_x11_req(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int screen_number);
DESCRIPTION
channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)
single_connection - non-zero to only forward a single connection.
auth_proto - X11 authentication protocol to use
auth_cookie - the cookie (hexadecimal encoded).
screen_number - the XLL screen to forward
Request an X11 forwarding on channel. To use X11 forwarding, libssh2_session_callback_set(3) must first be called to set LIBSSH2_CALL-
BACK_X11. This callback will be invoked when the remote host accepts the X11 forwarding.
RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a
negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.
ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_REQUEST_DENIED -
