Every desktop session gets an Xnewt.  It's not necessarily one Xnewt
per user because a user can be logged in concurrently to multiple
sessions, and if he does that he'll own multiple Xnewts.  That's
slightly unusual, the typical case is that a user will log in to
only one session in which case he will own only one Xnewt process.

The user's desktop session will be destroyed, just as if he had 
logged out.  Technically it's a little different to logging out:
the X clients in the desktop will probably die without doing any 
of the context-saving that they might have done on a regular logout, 
and the display manager (GDM by default) might count this death as 
a contribution to its instability statistics for this X display
number.
