OK, I feel dumb now. 

I hadn't fully demoted my linux box from being a router/server.  I still 
had DHCPD running on it, and it was fighting with the m0n0wall DHCP 
server, both my internal subnet.  Thats not good.  Also, my windows box 
and my Linux box I had setup as DHCP cleints, and m0n0wall dhcp by default 
requests a refresh once an hour... so either my windows box or my linux 
box network was hiccuping, and dropping the connections. 

*sigh*

I disabled the rest of the serving on my Linux server, and now my X-apps 
are staying running just fine. 

oh well.  m0n0wall is just amazing.  

Keep up the great work.
