Sorry for being so late, but "zombie" is actually a used term in
libwayland. It is not synonymous to "inert".

A zombie object is an object that has been destroyed on the client
side, but the server has not yet acknowledged it and may be sending
events through it. These events will be silently dropped in
libwayland-client.

An inert object is a real existing protocol object on both sides of the
connection. An inert object is only semantically "dead" - it depends on
the interface specification on what it actually means.
