Yes. There are several directions ximage backend can be improved. The other two things I have in mind right now are to add llvmpipe support and to merge the dri2 and ximage backends. The latter allows an accelerated or unaccelerated path to be chosen by the applications through EGL_CONFIG_CAVEAT = EGL_NONE or EGL_SLOW_CONFIG. With the merge, it should be easier to add support for the example you mentioned.
