I don't know what they're doing with their network, but if you're running long jobs over ssh, you should be using screen. While I don't know that it works well for -X forwarded guis, I'd recommend using screen for ANY ssh connection or hands on job that you would prefer not to be killed by a disconnect.
Screen is the terminal multiplexer. Screen has dozens of uses. Aside from giving "tabs" of terminal sessions to switch between in a single window, it allows you to discconect sessions so they finish in the background, or you can reconnect to them later. ctrl - a allows entry of most commands. screen -d -r Detaches an existing screen session if it is connected elsewhere and re-attach a screen session to your current term.
