You do not need it! X11 provides everything you need for
IPC. It actually recomends not to use anything else for
inter application communication, because the authentification
system of x11 cannot be used universaly anymore.
But these days it is very hard to find anyone who actually
knows X11....
Ok if you have seen the freedesktop pages somebody is thinking of
moving x11 to dbus. now thats totally unacceptable.
besides, the issue is not x11 at all. its about the the linux graphics
subsystem. and that dbus is actually not not a good example of linux
people thinking accross layers and modularization.
and with regards to desktop designs, in my opinion windows icons mouse
and pointer (WIMP) is actually not the best way forward anymore.

PS: no, i don't know X11, but i seem to know more
than the average GUI developer these days.
