I've seen the discussion of the openwin script wanting to
have the DISPLAY variable start with a colon.  Well that
is just fine, but I've noticed that after a while the
server forgets what the host is and tells me that it
can't open the DISPLAY (:0.0).  This is really a pain.
It  works for a while, then it stops.  Anybody else seen
this?  Any work arounds (other than forcing the hostname
into the DISPLAY variable)?
