Well, isn't that mostly the fault of D-Bus, GConf and other relatively recent inventions that they decided to ignore this use case of running desktop applications? In the far past, IPC mechanisms somehow managed to cooperate with X (e.g. ICCCM, XSettings) - admittedly with lower-level functionality. (The decision to ignore remote applications may have been correct - that's beside the point: You really can't blame X for things D-Bus/GConf didn't do; and the fundamental semantic problem of "should this setting refer to the machine this process runs or to the machine it is displayed" does not ever go away simply by changing the remote communication protocol.)
