I have seen this problem in any X11 based toolkit causing X core mechanisms being bypassed by one toolkit after another. (starting with swing).
How come X devs haven't figured out how to solve it throughout the years forcing toolkits that support it to implement complex hacks? Is is that deeply entrenched in X11 design. If is cannot always perform on both remote and local scenarios some deep re-architecting is needed.
Wouldn't some new extension be sufficient?

Pardon? there is a replacement, its called XCB. It is part of Xorg already, its people deciding not to support it - that is the problem.
