It quit because it is loosing its connection to the X server.

One way go around this is to have an XServer running on the remote site, use 
it for the applications and work with it through a remote protocol like VNC.

Or running an NX server and connecting to it with a NX client

NX: www.nomachine.com
there is also a free server called FreeNX, not sure where to get it though
