 +  * after major OSX updates sometimes it is required to re-install XQuartz and reboot
 +  * if you're experiencing x-forwarding timeout failures its usually because SSH on OSX only forwards graphics for 10 minutes by default. You can change this behavior by setting a timeout in your local ssh config file ( ie: ~/.ssh/config )
