Re: XQuartz doesn't survive hibernation mode - how to cure?

[Mark Brethen]

I see this type of behavior all the time with GIMP — the tool options window 
disappears after waking from sleep. Fortunately GIMP has a Show/Hide Docks menu 
item.

BTW I’m running GIMP under XQuartz 2.7.9 in El Capitan.

Are they actually gone, or just offscreen?  XQuartz has recently grown
a bad habit of repositioning windows at wake (seems to only happen to
windows that have not been manually moved since they were created).
Sometimes it shoves them clear offscreen.  There are various ways to
get one back --- sometimes another sleep/wake cycle suffices, but
if it doesn't, try maximizing the window using XQuartz's menu entries.

The problem has existed for a long time even with Snow Leopard. When a
Mac is asleep, it does not send regular "keep alive" packets to the X
application on remote host, so eventually that X application declares
the IP link to be dead and then ends.

To paliate this, you have to set your mac to never sleep, but turn off
screens after x minutes of inactivity.
