I'm experiencing a weird problem with X11 forwarded via ssh from a CentOS 7 system to XQuartz 2.7.8 running on OS X 10.11.4.
I can forward X using either "ssh -X" or "ForwardX11 yes" and it works fine. However, after some number of minutes (10? 15?) in that ssh session I can no longer start new clients, they get messages like "Could not connect to display localhost:10.0". If I log out of my ssh session and reconnect, I can start clients again with no problems. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time being confused because forwarding would work and then stop working for no reason (leading to lots of configuration tweaking) until I realized it was time-based.
Any ideas on what could be causing this, or where I should look? I wonder if some socket or temp file is getting cleaned up?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
