X is a rather sucky protocol, in modern times, for doing this sort of stuff. 
Lots of code breaks, for example, on a high-latency link, because so many 
programs assume that things like change of focus will complete before 
keypress events start arriving, but they don't. There's whole piles of 
kludges to account for that kind of thing.

No they don't. That's enforced entirely by the login program checking licenses.
