#48735: Macports' quartz produces error when using ssh -Y

-------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
Trying to ssh my Macbook Pro with X11 enabled generates a warning that
prevents any X11 app to load:
{{{
thiago at nowhere:~$ ssh -Y thiago at localhost
Password:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
Last login: Wed Aug 26 17:07:40 2015 from localhost
}}}
Notice the line: '''X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0'''
Apparently, xauth is not able to get the correct $DISPLAY variable, thus
generating the error message.
The solution has been already applied to XQuartz. It is described in the
answer to this question:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/169657/ssh-x-does-not-work-on-
yosemite
Or, more specifically, here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/2068
As of now, the solution to this issue would be installing XQuartz from
xquartz.macosforge.org. However, since quartz is also installed by
MacPorts along with the '''xorg-server''' (or '''xorg-server-devel''')
package, it would be convenient to avoid two redundant packages installed
on the computer.
Applying this fix to MacPorts's quartz would avoid the need to also
install XQuartz to solve this issue. Thanks!
