Thanks for giving me another reason not to upgrade beyond 10.9! I too do lots
of things under X11 because it typically isn't slower and usually reduces
memory overhead for some reason.

You'd lose the rootless mode where X11 windows are mixed with native windows,
as well as multihead support, right?
There may be another approach. A few years back I asked Jeremy H. what he
thought of an interest for having Wayland on Mac. If I understood his answer
correctly it could also be an answer to the current X11 problems because it
should allow to run a standard X11-on-Wayland layer. I don't have enough
experience with Wayland to know how well those layers work, but I'd assume them
to be rather crucial for the new platform to get acceptance.
