JetBrains IntelliJ Remote Development does not open my project

JetBrains IntelliJ 2023.2.4

I had been using the "Remote development" feature from JetBrains successfully for 3+ months with this version when suddenly an upgrade to the 2023.3 has stopped working. I happened to delete my backends so I am unable to rollback.

When I use "Gateway" and start a project it creates a backend and then waits for connecting to the backend then throws an error see screenshot below.

The logs do not indicate much except that I get loads of errors of the form

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth": error=2, No such file or directory
    at java.base/java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1143)

and also some errors of the form

so when I did

Actually, you're not supposed to do these things manually. According to this part of the log, the remote IDE didn't start, so it didn't provide an expected reply to the local component (Gateway). It's better to show the remote side logs to the support (if you still have them).

With some hassle I figured out that the directories that matter are under .cache and .config so when I did

mv /home/USER/.cache/JetBrains /home/USER/.cache/JetBrains-2023-01-04
mv /home/USER/.config/JetBrains /home/USER/.config/JetBrains-2023-01-04

it all seemed to work. It might be useful from the UI to present an option like "Everything is Kaput... do you want to really start everything fresh with new config and cache"?
