In this examples there's no session manager. I simply do

 - Starting a failsave session
 - xfwm4 --daemon
 - ./testclient&
 - exit

The "failsave session" is a simple xterm without window manager, started
by GDM.

But in the "real world", I use a normal Xfce with session manager but
the program is not terminated in a way that executes functions
registered with atexit().

Can you or others please verify this problem. Thanks.
