Indeed. Qt and GTK are really bad too. There was an article on LWN some years ago where someone had tracked what these libraries actually do with the X protocol, and there was lots and lots of redundance. That's why X latency over long links has become worse over the years. Qt is said to have improved with v4 but I haven't looked into it myself.
