GIMP doesn't even know that it's running on X11. This needs to be handled in GTK+. As far as I know, support for hotplug of input devices is still lacking from GTK+. Support for a disappearing display is available though. So if GIMP is crashing there, then you should file a bug report and attach a stack trace of that crash. We might have to connect to GdkDisplay:close and deal with this on the GIMP side.
