Sadly, I doubt that will happen, the reason being that the X world is
moving further and further from 'all batteries included' to 'just use a
toolkit', and programs (such as Emacs or Firefox) that directly act as X
clients are getting more and more rare.

In the eyes of the X desktop people and toolkit developers, program
portability between toolkits (or window systems) is also not as
important as it used to be.

As an extreme indicator of the direction things are moving in, it is
practically impossible to directly act as a Wayland client without some
kind of toolkit in between.  The protocol (and its common extensions) is
extremely spartan and leaves most functionality to the imagination of
toolkit developers, including basics such as window decorations,
controls, and even dragging and grabs.

Thanks.
