autossh might help. It starts ssh sessions and periodically checks them to
make sure that they're still passing data-- if they're not, it terminates
them and starts a new one. This is often helpful, but maybe not in your
case, since you say that other tunnels are still good after the X tunnels
fail. I don't know what would cause that.
Good luck,
Andrew.
