Have two computers, desktop and laptop. Use desktop to control laptop as described with more detail in
http://www.iki.fi/karvinen/x2x_and_ssh.html

1) $ ssh -X <email address hidden> "x2x -west -to :0." &
You can now control laptop by moving cursor "trough" left side of screen, x2x works.
2) Wait for 30 min - 1 h
What happens:
It says:
[1]+ Stopped ssh <email address hidden> x2x -west -to :0.
on the invoking terminal on desktop.example.com.
x2x seizes to work, moving cursor to left side of screen does nothing.

It should keep working normally.
