X is exited with an error message
Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all
Kernel version: irrelevant
Symptom:
When you exit X - apparently as usual - on the corresponding menu, the
following error message appears on the screen or in your file ~/.X.err:
waiting for X server to shut down xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe)
or Kill
Client on X server ":0.0"
xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
Cause:
The X server communicates with the programme started under X on a sog. If
a programme is exited, all pipes opened for it are closed. If the X
server is finished, its pipe to a running Xterm is closed too. The above
message documentates the moment in which the Xterm notices that its X
server has disappeared.
Solution:
Since you want to exit the X server anyway, this message is irrelevant
for you.

Keywords: X SERVER, EXIT, KILL, XTERM, BROKEN PIPE
