I've got a strange xterm bug that is causing problems with ssh X
forwarding. I've had it since 2.5.0 beta, (I'm now running 2.5.1 beta3)
and I'm not sure if there is a bug open on it.
Here's how to reproduce the problem:
Start XQuartz, which will start up an xterm.
Inside the xterm, echo $DISPLAY gives me:
/tmp/launch-Ewnm06/org.macosforge.xquartz:0.0
If I "ssh -X remote-host", then try to start any X app it fails with:
connect /tmp/launch-Ewnm06/org.macosforge.xquartz:0.0: No such file
or directory X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or
server shutdown).
If I go back to the desktop, run Applications->Terminal which opens a
new xterm, echo $DISPLAY gives me:
/tmp/launch-Ewnm06/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
Then if I ssh -X remote host, any X app starts up and displays just fine.
I'm not sure where the extra .0 is coming in the initial startup, but
it seems to be the source of this particular problem.
