This is the key.  It was a bug in the endsession scripts if you had
digits in the hostname.  It was fixed after 405F
(it was introduced during dualhead changes in 402).

The intent was to remove the screen number (if any) from $DISPLAY.
Change the line that sets PROP_DISPLAY to just set it to $DISPLAY;
that works for just about everybody.

I have found a cure and a new problem - the problem is with endsession 
and the name of the Xterm containing numbers. Changing the name of the 
xterms to all letters was the quick workaround. Is there a standard 
fix for the endsession script?
