I'm having this really bizarre and annoying problem lately with my X

problems, and then I will be unable to open any new windows. If I go
into an already-open terminal and attempt to run xeyes (or anything
else), I get this message:
tsuraan@localhost ~ $ xeyes
No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: :0
Almost certainly what's happened is:
- your sole authentication method to the server is xauth cookies
- your xauth cookie record contains the hostname
- your hostname changed
Comparing the output of 'xauth list' and 'hostname' when this happens
would be enlightening.
But the better change is to use xhost +si:localuser:$(id -un) instead of
xauth.
