[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.0-rc3

[Merle Reinhart]

I just tried it from my mac, ssh -Y to a solaris 10 machine, then ssh - 
Y to another solaris 10 machine (I don't have linux boxes readily  
available).  X11 displayed back just fine whether X11 was started on  
the Mac prior to the ssh's or if the final ssh produces the request to  
start X11.
