Not quite. Wnen the window manager (or what ever program X starts
directly) dies then X will exit normally. "This is not a bug, it's a
feature(TM)" of X. Usually, the window manager will dump some garbage to
the screen but it doesn't have to. (If you have ever used the 1.7 tree of
AfterStep, it had a bug like this.)
Gabriel, have you tried starting the X server without your window manager?
(Just type X on the command line and see if the server starts.)
