i might know the solution


The problem is this. X windows doesn't like it when your host name changes. It creates a cookie of sorts that stores your permission to connect to the X server. The problem is that the cookie is based on, in part, the hostname. Change that and your permissions change. The simplest solution is either set the host name before you start X (to what the network expect). or, and this is a better solution, disable the dhclient from updateing your host name.
