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.
