From the client's point of view there's little difference between
the X-server segfaulting and someone hitting the little 'X' button
that the window manager puts next to the title bar (for most window
managers, the 'X' is equivalent to xkill - the connection to the
server is severed).
Any client can install a handler via Xlib to respond to this
occurance. Most don't. They probably should given how the same
problem would happen just by "closing" the window.
