Can you please provide more details on how this was failing?

XSetErrorHandler should be safe to call on non-x11 environments, because it only sets an libX11-internal variable, and does not interact with the server.

Or maybe the real reason is that GTK+ 2.x does not interact well with Mir? Then the commit message is misleading: the X11 related functions to blame are not in appmenu-qt5, but in GTK+ 2.

If you are sure there is some kind of failure, then we may need to fix the mainline Qt too: it has similar code in http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/plugins/platformthemes/gtk3/qgtk3theme.cpp#n78.

The problem here was not in XSetErrorHandler (that was not needed anyway at this point), but in the call `QGnomeTheme::themeHint(hint);`

I don't remember the details now, but it was somewhat caused by some code in gtk2 yes.
Upstream qt has not this kind of issues. Also gtk3 is not X11-only toolkit, thus it self-protects when not running in such environments

OK. Now that we have Qt 5.7 in Zesty, we can port appmenu-qt5 to GTK+ 3, though I would prefer to remove it altogether instead (bug 1634941).

Yeah, I do agree that removing appmenu-qt5 is way better (considering also that shipping this in a snap world, would just be annoying).

We should take care of changes going to be needed for unity8 appmenus too, though.
You might get in touch with Nick Dedekind.
