Check to see if the unix socket is still there:
% ls -la /tmp/.X11-unix
total 32
drwxrwxrwt 2 root cameron 4096 Dec 29 14:50 .
drwxrwxrwt 294 root root 28672 Jan 1 12:51 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 root cameron 0 Dec 29 14:50 X0
Maybe some overly helpful /tmp cleaning program has removed it.
How precise is that "two weeks" time measurement? Like clockwork,
or just touchy-feely?

Work around it in your .xsession (or .xinitrc, depending) by setting
$DISPLAY there.

More likely it doesn't touch the $DISPLAY variable at all. So all your
subprograms are using :0.0 while fvwm is using hostname:0.0.

Indeed.

See if my /tmp cleaning idea holds.
