Best Answer

X clients are merely programs that run on X. There is no actual program called X Client.

The X SERVER is the foundation for building graphical user interfaces on most UNIX systems, it is the interface between the user, user interface, and display drivers. Things like KDE and GNOME run on top of the X server.

But anything you run on X is an X client: Firefox, openbox, kopete, KDE, VLC, mplayer, you name it.
