Just a followup - I changed the close timeout to -1 and eventually an
additional error message popped up:
/usr/openwin/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 135.255.30.20:0.0
I've checked the security settings under the Xconfig window and the
"Host Access Control List" is set to "Disabled (any host access)". And
the "Allow Clients to Modify Host Access Control List" checkbox is unchecked.
