I'm sorry for the late reply. I've realized I made a mistake in the initial
post, the server is actually running motif windows manager.
The output of xlsclients is:
# xlsclients -al
Window 0x60005b:
Machine: localhost.localdomain
Name: mwm
Icon Name: mwm
Command: /usr/bin/mwm
Instance/Class: mwm/Mwm
The output of xwininfo is:
# xwininfo -root -tree
xwininfo: Window id: 0xde (the root window) (has no name)
Root window id: 0xde (the root window) (has no name)
Parent window id: 0x0 (none)

Where " CTM " is an executable running in a separate computer on the same
network, showing its content on the local X server using "export
DISPLAY=...". When that machine dies, the screen does not go black, instead
the last image of the CTM executable stays on screen.
Then if I try to do a netstat, I can see that the TCP connections from the
machine (that is now powered off) are still ESTABLISHED.
I guess there should be a way of activating a KEEPALIVE mechanism on the
connection to the Xorg, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. The
application is using Qt by the way, if it matters.
Regards.
