In my wildest dreams, only the "read-only" parts of XRandR would be available to apps, but it doesn't sound like it's a big problem to supply a list of available resolutions through the Window Manager...I guess it would remove any dependency in apps on a specific X11 extension, and lets DEs specify just what they want to allow.
