This is the only actual, honest, problem that I've ever seen about X. Still, it does not seem a really fundamental problem, it must surely be solvable from within X? Do we really need a full-rewrite of X, unstable, with new bugs and less functionalities? (many of us don't use "desktop" applications and it will break screen capture tools, and other things that are dear to us like xwit, xdotool and the like). Just for that silly mixed-resolution screen problem? I have observed this problem, but to me is a minor, mostly irrelevant nuisance. Losing xwit would be a major problem.
