Since upgrading to Yosemite, I’ve been having delays in getting to a prompt 
when starting up an xterm that does an ssh to a remote Linux box.  I’m using 
"ssh -Y remote_host” from the xquartz applications menu, i.e.:

        xterm -geometry 80x60+600+0 -title “remote" -bg "#ebffeb" -e ssh -Y 
remote.example.com

When I turn on the -vv flag to ssh, it pauses right after the xauth call:

> ...
> debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
> debug2: channel 0: send open
> debug1: Requesting [email protected]
> debug1: Entering interactive session.
> debug2: callback start
> debug2: Checking for xauth using /opt/X11/bin/xauth -f 
> /var/folders/dv/rg72h7ch8xj_kk0059bnymr00000gn/T//xauth_test exit > /dev/null 
> 2> /dev/null
> 
> debug2: x11_get_proto: /opt/X11/bin/xauth  list 
> /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.OgudsWHJ2p/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 2>/dev/null

If I just cut-n-paste the xauth call into a local window, I get the same delay, 
here are a couple of examples:

> sh-3.2$ date;/opt/X11/bin/xauth  list 
> /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.OgudsWHJ2p/org.macosforge.xquartz:0;date
> Mon Nov 17 14:26:27 CST 2014
> Mon Nov 17 14:26:32 CST 2014
> sh-3.2$ date;/opt/X11/bin/xauth  list 
> /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.OgudsWHJ2p/org.macosforge.xquartz:0;date
> Mon Nov 17 14:34:57 CST 2014
> Mon Nov 17 14:35:05 CST 2014
> sh-3.2$ 

If I run “ssh -Y remote.example.com” from a local xterm, there is no delay, and 
the xauth call is different:

    debug2: x11_get_proto: /opt/X11/bin/xauth  list :0 2>/dev/null

So this implies the DISPLAY variable is set differently between the two.

Has anyone else seen this?
