Seems like an odd perspective to consider the X side as
an after thought (especially when the discussion is
about fonts in a xfree86 mailing list).
I would have expected that the design would be a X
solution that had a method to also reach the non-X apps.
For example, there could be a property on the root
window that was the id of a separate "font notification"
window. An app would use the root window property to
get the second window id and then listen for events
on that window. A helper app could forward the messages
to some other IPC mechanism (such message queues) which
the local non-X apps could could use.
