This just happened.

I have two apps open.  Both are running and functioning normally.

I go to open a third.  I get the display not found error.

I open a new SSH session *without* closing the old one. The apps keep running, and I am able to open the third app in the new SSH session.

I close the new SSH session and go back to the old one. When I attempt to launch an app I still get the display not found error.

Are you sure this is
not 
http://superuser.com/questions/462535/x11-forwarding-stops-working-after-a-while
 ? (would be
weird for it to show up only on upgrade to Sierra, though)
Alternately it could be a Power Nap thing, conceivably --- but I'd expect a 
different error in
that case.
