Actually I suspect that many people would like to be able to do this, but I also suspect that switching a running X instance to a new hardware driver on the fly is as close to impossible (given the current design of X) as makes no odds. There is, perhaps, slightly more mileage in the idea of maintaining window manager state across X restarts. That is, keeping the desktop the same while X restarts underneath it. Again this is (AFAIK) unimplemented rather than unfeasible.
