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.
