I think you aren't even aware how broken this "mix and match" network approach of classic X11 is. The semantics of D-Bus and other IPCs in a distributed X11 session has never been clearly defined, and all kinds of integration between apps mostly just vanishes if you do this, or will behave weirdly. Yes, X11 over the network still kinda works, but if you claim the status quo was so awesome, then you're just blind.
