We have bindings on Deimos:

If there are any applicable improvements, I think it would make 
sense to upstream them there.

You may also find this demo interesting:

https://github.com/cybershadow/ae/blob/next/demo/x11/demo.d

It uses an implementation of the protocol built on top of an 
asynchronous event loop, thus making use of the asynchronous 
nature of the protocol. libX11 and libxcb don't allow doing that 
as easily.
