It's an application problem all right.. the apps still think they have some meanigful connection to an X server that no longer exists.. at a guess either other threads have exited when they noticed the server gone away (they'd get a SIGPIPE I think).. but some never know to go and nobody tells them, or else the main thread is just not reading from the pipe or blocking the signal...
