What I would do is run the update, and then log out and kill the X server
with ctrl+alt+backspace.

If you update with zypper, you can look to see what’s in use with:

sudo zypper ps

Logout doesn’t actually terminate the X server, so after a logout, if you
checked it, it would probably show the old files were still in use.
