You're missing the namespace here.

Instead of Atom as the property indentifier, would it perhaps be better
to have a string name in the function interface? It seems the Atom will
always be created the same way, so we can spare the caller the
necessity.

This is really lackluster error handling.

1. The message is way too generic, imagine getting this in the log and
not actually knowing the code. It doesn't even say it's an X Window
property, it could be absolutely anything. You should also include the
name of the property, possibly an identifier of the Window and most
importantly the actuall error description.

2. Since we got the error hierarchy, we should use it. I'm inclined to
say that instead of jamming all errors into error.{c,h}pp, it will
probably be better to put specific errors along with the code that
throws them. By that I mean to have something like this in the xorg-
utils.hpp header:

#include <error.h>

//...

class XPropertyError : public Error
{
//...
};
