Say that on the server we start the Xclock app (as an example) for display

$ Xclock -update 1 -display <IP address of client_1> &
$ Xclock -update 1 -display <IP address of client_2> &
$ Xclock -update 1 -display <IP address of client_3> &

ps output shows 3 Xclock process then 2 when one user close the app.
This is fine but we cannot tell which user has close the app.
