Of course, in our case I would think that the Qt and Gtk+ libraries should
be able to deal with much of those problems themselves, centralizing the
problem. I suspect few people these days run apps that talk directly to
the X server.

Those libraries are dealing with the problem, look at the new polling functions in Glib such as g_timeout_add_seconds ().
