It may have existed, but... who knew?  I've been using SUSE since 6.0.
 I never knew it existed.  I may be documented somewhere, but your
average user won't see it or understand it.  If you say man sax2, I'll
say "go away!"  (the polite translation of what I would really be
saying)

New users are really baffled by it all when X dies and they are stuck
at the CLI.  I can deal with it, and I know how to recover it
(although I've NEVER heard of or used sax.sh -a), but some poor new
user is really lost.

So.. I would say this is definitely a critical request.  Stop thinking
like a programmer/power user and start thinking like an end user...
Elegant X crash recovery is desperately needed as Alexey pointed out.
