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.
