    Suppose you want a client to do something intelligent when its been
    murdered via "XKillClient". How do you detect that you have been
    murdered?

KillClient is overkill, and impolite, and clients shouldn't have to cope
with it.  Conventions for cleanly shutting down an application are being
worked on.
