Would it be possible to solve this by creating a proxy between the xlib application and the X server? This proxy could re-issue failed requests, or reroute them to a different server. Basically, it would be the error-handling layer, so that all xlib calls always seem to work, from the application's viewpoint.
As a proxy, it could improve error handling across all X applications without any application code changes.
