When you start anything that sends back X11 stuff, then on local machine XQuartx starts, then X11 stuff pops up. XQuartz stays up, so it is only the first X11 application started on remote machine that has a delay waiting for XQuartz to start. XQuartz stays up on local machine even after you disconnect from remote machine. Valeri
