Wow! Thanks for the quick response.
That was easy.

I usually "ssh -X <remote>" to a remote Linux machine. I can then read mail
(thunderbird), edit documents (LibreOffice 3.x), run Chrome, and edit programs
(Emacs). I'll have half a dozen windows open through the X tunnel provided by
ssh. Works well and lasts for hours.
After upgrading to Cygwin 64-bit (this last weekend), everything *seems* to be
okay for a while. After about 20 minutes, though, I can no longer open
windows remotely. Even though I have thunderbird currently open, when I try
to run Chrome, I get "(google-chrome:20006): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open
display: localhost:10.0". If I try to open xclock from the command line, I get:
xclock
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
Does anybody know what happened? Why has the tunnel disappeared? It hasn't
actually disappeared because I'm still running thunderbird through it.
