Hi,
I have been having a strange problem with X11 for a while now. When I connect to a remote host with ssh -X, everything is fine for a few minutes, and suddenly I get this kind of messages whenever I want to open something with a GUI (e.g. emacs):
Display localhost:19.0 unavailable
or
Unable to connect to X Windows display: localhost:19.0. Unable to open X Windows display.
The only solution is to disconnect from the host and reconnect. This is really annoying. To investigate the problem I have created a new user on my local machine (under Mac OS X 10.6.7), and it appears that the problem doesn't occur with this new user. It makes me suspect it might be a permissions problem, but I am not sure which are the files involved, and I can't find any log from X11 which could help locate the problem. The thing is that X11 does not crash or complain of anything: if I open another connection, everything works fine... for a few minutes. Does someone have any idea where that could come from?
Cheers,
