The X server used to wait for the user to hit a key or move the mouse before restarting the session after a keepalive failure. This, presumably, was to avoid having the X server continuously spew XDMCP protocol on the network while the XDM server was dead. Switching into this state was removed from the server some time before XFree86 4.3.99.16, so the remaining bits of code have been dead for over a decade, and no-one ever noticed.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
