Or the mintnet setup is probably not 100% OK, I would say. If I
understand it well the first thing an X client tries to do is to parse
the $DISPLAY, get the IP address and connect to the server via sockets
port 6000, right? So correct $DISPLAY and working sockets are a must.
What about adding a simple socket test into the X server? So it could
report immediately "your system is broken, get newer .XDD" or alike?

I tried this as well, same result (i.e. can't open display after a
while).
