I have this problem routinely if the machine changes IP addresses as
part of the sleep/wake cycle.

I experience about 99% of the time (but not always) a problem,
where after waking up my G5
(10.4.8) from sleep,
the running X window manager (`ion3' in my case) does no longer
work in so far as
every attempt to create a new window results in the error message
given as the subject
of this mail and a message from the respective program (e.g. `gv')
that it is unable to
open the display.
in the 'troubleshooting Xfree86' page on the Fink site I found a
work around, namely
manually removing the (and recreating a new empty) .Xauthority
file. this indeed works.
(and thanks very much for that hint -- up to now I found no other
cure than to abort and
restart Xdarwin).
the reason for the problem given in the 'troubleshooting' page
is:

this can be caused by some VNC installations, by running XDarwin
through sudo, and
probably some other freak accidents.

I _do_ have tightvnc installed (but how could it do harm if not
running?), I do _not_ run
XDarwin through sudo. is my problem a regular 'freak accident'?
does anyone experience
similar problems after wake up from sleep mode? does anybody
have a clue what can go wrong "overnight"?
joerg
"Freak accidents" may be excessive. You're quite right about the
non-running tightvnc not being the culprit.
I get this error occasionally when I switch X servers (e.g. from
X11.app to XDarwin.app. I have never had it occur on waking up a
machine that is running X11 (of any sort), though.
I'd be interested to hear if others have had this problem.
