"connection to ":1.0" refused by server

I'm having a problem which I occasionally had under Tiger which seems to be much worse on Leopard. On my laptop (Macbook Pro), when I have been running X11 at one physical location and move my Mac to another network (from one where the address is assigned by DHCP, to one where I have a fixed IP address, or vice versa), I frequently find that I cannot launch new X applications; I get messages like:

Xlib: connection to "1.0" refused by sever
Xlib: No protocol specified

X server not responding

It used to be that if I disconnected the network cable I could then open up an xwindow, and then once the cable was reconnected all was well -- as if the X server figured out who I was while the cable is disconnected. NOW I can still get an xwindow to open up with the cable disconnected, but when I reconnect the cable, the problem (some of the time) returns.

It seems I can always fix things by shutting down X11 and restarting, but that is something I don't want to do if I am in the midst of a project.

Is there a fix for this? Maybe some shell script that fixes ownership of the X11 server process?

Also -- what is the best place to search for answers to questions like this? Searching xquartz.macosforge.org seems to be too small a universe, and a general Google search seems to be too broad.

Thanks,

Ron Cohen
