You're right, any app that uses the display will die when the display

Technical nitpick: Not always. I haven't tried this with Apple's X11, but
I've certainly seen it with other platforms. I wrote a program once that
only listened for events on other windows but did not create any windows of
its own. If a display went away, the app didn't necessarily quit. It
still sat around, waiting for events which (obviously) never came. I had
to add a periodic "ping" of the X server to see if it was still around and
close down if not.
I've see applications that go into infinite loops if the X server goes
away without warning. They should die, but don't always ;-).
Cheers,
