IMO, X11 is practically unusable without NX/Xpra, but it has other UX issues and it still doesn't do exactly what you'd want. Throwing a protocol error is also bad UX. There's no way to present that to the user other than saying "hey this didn't work, go fix it in some other system-dependent place that I may or may not know about."
