Wow! Thanks for the quick response. That was easy. Chris On 1/3/2014 10:23 AM, Jon TURNEY wrote:

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.http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-twenty-minute-timeout Use 'ssh -Y'
