Hi,

I think vcxsrv is based on the cygwin source:

Well, you just need to log _failing_ clients. Those clients will not
produce many requests as they are rejected right at the beginning, not
getting a display. Right?

But just to mention it: I think rejecting them is not the right way to
handle them anyway. You never know what clients you'll see in the
future and having to restart X to give them access is a no-go in my
POV.
