I don't know what you are doing in detail so I don't know if it relates.
The way NetworkManager works as I remember it is that the user's session
owns a service on the system bus which can be queried for the desired
network configuration. The system bus is intended to be an
authenticated/secure communication channel. Doing something similar for
some X config makes sense to me, but it depends on what you are doing
exactly.
