What process is 2845 when this happens?

How are you starting X?  What's the command line shown by 'ps auwx |
grep X' ?  If an authority file is listed on the command line, does it
contain a valid cookie for that server, and is it the same one as your
clients are using?

You can check the contents of an authority file by doing:

% XAUTHORITY=/path/to/whatever xauth list
