I recently switched to using a MacPorts-installed xorg-server instead of downloading XQuartz separately; while I don't know if this issue is related, I didn't have the problem before switching. Since then I've noticed that after some number of days I can no longer make connections to the X server, though current connections are fine. I tracked it down to /tmp/.X11-unix going missing. I have since taken to moving /tmp/.X11-unix to /var/tmp/.X11-unix and leaving a symlink in /tmp, but that hasn't stopped the symlink from being removed. I can relink and everything is fine, but I'd really like to know why it keeps getting removed.
Can anyone offer any insight? --Greg
