Hm. Little tricky; in a little mental wandering I haven't come up
with anything great for it. Seems like what it actually means is
either Obvious(tm) to you at a casual mention ('cuz you know how all
these pieces fit together, and this just reminds you), or requires
paragraphs of discussion...

I think it's written to mean the X session is logged out, and so e.g.
all the xterms you have are logged out too. I note that it's word for
word unchanged from twm's man too (apart from s/twm/ctwm).
But I guess we can at least do a little tweaking to make it harder to
misread; up in r676.
