Stale image on X11 server after lost connection

Hello.

I have an xorg server running in a Linux box with no wm, and a separate
machine running an application exporting to the X server in the first
machine.

The problem arises when the connection is lost between the two machines or
the application exporting the display fails. The X111 server keeps a stale
image on screen that is obviously unresponsive. I'd rather it turn black
the moment the connection is lost.

Is there a way of forcing the X server to stop showing that stale image
when the connection is lost? Not sure if it has something to do with it not
having a wm.

Thanks!
Regards.
