Bug#187218: [branden@debian.org: Re: Bug#187218: xserver-xfree86: Clients are rejected after a while]

Maybe. There was a cookie, but I cannot possibly say if it got changed 
during the session. I have been experiencing some strange behaviour with 
vim too - every now and then it reports that file that I'm editing has 
changed on the file system. It's got to do with the fact that my home 
dir is nfs mounted.
Anyway, the thing seemed to be related  to xautolock, and I had to stop 
using it. Maybe I should try again, there's been a couple of updates of 
xfree86 packages since...

Cheers,
Srdjan
