Usually I can use it for ~5-10 minutes, and then any attempt to start any X11 application from the same terminal (e.g. open a new instance of emacs) fails. However, I can continue to use any already started X11 application.

Unfortunately this is a big server in a university network, and I am just a mere user... not the admin! I have about my problem to the admin and his answer was "I'll look into it", but I really doubt so :( As much a I can recall, my problem didn't appear after any particular update/downtime of the server, but I don't have any way to be sure of that.
