As we discussed on IRC, this is fine for distros where the program is
being used on the locally shipped X server, with a consistent support in
the Xrandr client library and the local X server. (e.g. Fine in the
context of a disto local patch).

For an upstream fix, they must consider the case where the X server
might be remote, where it is much more likely that the client library
and server extention don't match in feature-set.
