[Thinlinc-technical] Cannot open display after some time

[Germ van Eck]

For the last year, and after several (re-)installations I keep having 
the issue that I can't start new X applications after some time. When I 
try to do this from the terminal, I get the error "Cannot open display".

myusername at mypc:~/sbin> echo $DISPLAY
:1.0
myusername at mypc:~/sbin> w

Cannot open display:

Both the client and server systems are running Opensuse 12.1. The server 
hardware is an Apple iMac (ATI using binary driver), the client is a HP 
Laptop.

I use Virtualbox with Win7. The thinlinc-vnc-server version is 
3.4.0-3513, X.Org is at 7.6_1-3.2.1.

Both a fix and a workaround would be appreciated, I now solve this by 
logging out/in, but this becomes very annoying.
