[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.0-rc3

[John Koren]

I have just experienced the same problem using 2.3.0-rc3 and it was a
direct ssh to a remote machine.
The  DISPLAY on the remote was set to 10.0.
Starting a new connection to the same machine fixed the problem.

I have "Authorize network client connections" checked, so that's not
the reason for this unstable ssh behavior.
It could be also related to the latest  OSX 10.5.3 update, which I
installed at the same time as 2.3.0-rc3.

Cheers -John
