I would like to know the details of the X error that caused the display
connection to be closed in the first place: this change is too large for
the release branch, but we may be able to fix the X error.

Also, please keep in mind that our policy is to place a space between
the function identifier and the opening paren of its parameter list in
function calls, and that the device should probably be destroyed even if
the display no longer exists, which usually happens when
x_delete_terminal is called in response to an IO error.
