The right way is to manage the applications to survive after IOError.
Something like Xt FAQ, subject 18.

I wrote a couple of xapps resistent to display crash and I personally do
not understand why IOError was considered so fatal (by R.S.?)

I would do error handling in XLib in this way:
1) Default XIOErrorHandler exits.
2) Caller of XIOErrorHandler does not exit but probably sets a flag.
3) Display functions do nothing on broken displays or generate an error or
call default XIOErrorHandler or just exit.

This would prevent people from longjmp hacks.
