Can't all the X requests in the gschem be intercepted at some point in
the program and just thrown away?

sodipodi has such an option
       -z, --without-gui
                     Do not use GUI. NB! if exist, should be FIRST
		     argument!

And I am using sodipodi in makefiles to convert Sodipodi SVG into PS and
it runs fine with this option.
