This is something which would be far easier to achieve at the toolkit
level.

There are too many problems with doing it at the X protocol level. 
There's no guarantee that the new X server will support the visual
you're using, or all of the extensions. Even if they're that similar,
the XIDs which are known to the client may be in use on the new
server, Atoms will have different numbers, etc.
