This may happen if the thinclients have little memory. Applications like 
OpenOffice cache images in the X server, which runs in the terminal, but 
it does not know how much memory it has. So, sometimes it allocates all 
the thinclient memory. When it tries to allocate more, the X server 
allocation fails and it dies.

One way to solve this issue is to use swap memory.
