Non-rectangular windows and an equivalent for the Shape extension
Tracing, debugging, performance hooks libXtst, xev, xscope, x11perf
Selections as distributed lock manager mediated by XServer
Not aware of any examples outside of System Tray, XSettings, Compositing manager
Use of root window properties and top-level application window properties as general inter-client communication
Do an "xprop -root" and "xprop" on an application window on your favorite system to see how much this is used
