That was my understanding too.
Only thing I can think of is, there is more to X than just the low-level X-server and that may be what he's talking about.

Like:
- one box runs the X-app. Like xterm, xeyes, whatever. - one box runs the X window manager layer. This can be the same as above or any other one. It responds to the X window manager calls from the X-apps above. - the X-terminal just runs the low level X-server. This responds to the low level dirct X-calls from the window manager box.

Could the middle box above be what he's calling the "X-server"?
