Thanks for the reply.

So far ssh -Y seems to be doing the trick.

Good.

I'd like to know a bit more about why this is happening, though, so if you could share the OS and sshd version which is running on the machine you are sshd-ing to, and the output when you connect using ssh -vvv -X, that would be interesting.

about 20 minutes?

when opening a new windows, I get the
error:


The application 'gedit' lost its connection to the display localhost:11.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

It doesn't matter what I do next, nothing simple makes the x-server come back 
alive.

This
    is happening on multiple machines.  For some reasons I have other
machines that never have a problem.  These machines may have older
installations.


Any advice is appreciated.

Use ssh -Y
