Now we're in blame territory. The "close X display thing" is actually a
long standing Gtk bug (around Gtk 2). X programs could always connect to
more than one display, and could close one or more of them. Gtk chose
to just crash the program when closing a display. This was acknowledged
as a bug, but never fixed.

Have a look here [1] for that long winded history.

Now you can describe calling this "a bug" as rhethoric, but to me, a
spade is a spade is a spade. Don't get me wrong: the Gtk people are
in their full right to WONTFIX this, of course.

Cheers
