Wayland is designed to be targeted by toolkits not applications so it's GTK, QT etc you'd have to be concerned about. I know there is already work under way for GTK to have wayland bindings so all existing gtk apps can be built for wayland. As long as the GTK developers continue to maintain their X bindings you will always be able to build GTK apps with X support.
