I hope these problems can be fixed in X11:

1. X10 offers a way to specify particular classes of events, with
blocking, but does not offer a way to do this without blocking.  This
lack forces Emacs to maintain its own queues of events.

2. X10 does not have a way to change the border width of a window.
Currently Emacs does this by creating a new window to use in place
of the old one, which is very ugly.
