There are two reasons why I'm not worried: 1) the window ID is passed as a string (!), so it shouldn't be hard to re-use the same API with non-X display systems. 2) the method accepting a window ID parameter is part of the Prompt object, which the client cannot create itself; only the Secrets service can return a Prompt object in some cases; and our implementation could (and most likely will) simply choose to never return this type of object to the client.
