The problem was that when a user logs into thin-client B that's using a different monitor than their primary thin-client A, an additional monitor definition for that monitor is written into ~/.config/monitors.xml
When the user returns back to their primary thin-client A, xorg tries to load the most recently used monitor definition from the top of the list in ~/.config/monitors.xml. It can't because it doesn't match the hardware they're actually viewing their session on and instead the display is turned off but the thin-client remains running of course. It looked like it shut down before but I was incorrect, its simply the display not rendering due to the wrong monitor definition. Deleting the offending monitor definition or the monitors.xml file altogether cleared the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to deal with this? We have labs of thin-clients and personal offices with varying monitor types. Users tend to migrate between rooms so this will be an issue.
