Well I would think that compositing would make it easier to make things stateless, since windows and such are not rendered on the actual display but in off-screen buffers.
I'd think you'd just have to keep those off-screen buffers alive and when the main display comes back up then you "re-composite" them.
Maybe you need a different thread for the application management vs the part of the X server that does the actual rendering or something, I don't know.
