No they didn't.  It's just that most people confuse "client" with "what I see."

It's pretty easy if you want to start it after you already logged in via 
text console.

Not really. Remember, client and server are "reversed". You still need one 
computer per user, and indeed, I don't know of any modern distro that lets 
you lock the screen as one X user and then log in as a different user 
without logging out the first one.  (Someone tell me if there's a way to do 
this with Ubuntu! :-)
