Hi Robert,
I am not a programmer or coder or anything like that. I am just an MD doing neuroimaging-based research so I really hope that I got your question right. So from my understanding your session basically times out. I was wondering why don't you use the screen command? I mean why don't you start your "ssh -X" session as you normally do and when you log into your server type screen -S "any name you want to give to your task so that you can remember it". This will initiate the screen session that you can detach and then you can re-attach to that particular session whenever you want without any issues. If your forwarding is set up correctly I think screen command will save you. You can detach soon after you initiate your task and then re-attach that screen whenever you want. This way you can keep this running without timing out.

I am not sure if this is helpful. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Magda.
