This is only going to get more embarassing, as machines get more ram and toolkits continue their trend to just send a pixmap to the server. I'm hitting the 256 limit everyday now, on a meduim-spec work laptop running kde.

This is starting to become a limiting factor in some high-RAM desktop environments. Perhaps it should be raised to 1024, as seen here: http://www.nabble.com/Maximum-Number-of-Clients-td7307396.html There is a 2 year old Xorg upstream bug about this as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9209 I'm unclear if this change would break the ABI, though.
