I have very little knowledge of X, but a little of using HPterm.

Is it possible that your hpterm window is running a shell that has 
'auti-logout' set.  This can be used by any shell running (i.e. on a 
normal character terminal too) so that if no process is running and no
keys are hit for the specified time then the shell 'logs itself out'.

This can be set to 60 minutes or whatever, and if you forget to logout
when you go home, you can rest assured that it has been done for you.

If this happened on an hpterm window the session would finish and the window
would close up and disapear.

(only an idea !!!)
