> But I do not see a xclock GUI (as I have seen on websites). Surely before even trying to communicate with remote applications I need to ensure XQuartz is configured correctly on myside.
I do not have an issue on my yosemite 10.10.2 system. With X installed but
NOT running I can open a terminal window and type xclock&.
1) X starts
2) An xclock window opens in the upper left corner of my OS X desktop.
If I click on the xclock window the Xll menu bar is displayed. Selecting
the About X11 button shown I'm running XQuartz 2.7.7
I think that tells me there is something specific to the configuration of
your mac that is causing issues, but I haven't a clue what that might be.
Looking at the console log I see these messages from when X started.
