Except I don't think we've found a single legitimate bug this way.
Every time this comes up, we just end up adding yet another call to
x_catch_error. Since X "protocol errors" are really more like warning
messages (as opposed to X "fatal errors"), I don't envision any other
situation cropping up.
But hey, CPU cycles are cheap these days, so what does it matter if we
plaster unnecessary x_catch_error calls all over the code.
