Using MacOS slave in 1.487 - Can't connect to window server - not enough permissions

      Description

      After 1.487 update from 1.486, MacOS slave refused to run. It was configured to run through SSH.

      Log messages shown are attached, main lines are:

      java.io.IOException: Remote call on iOS failed
Caused by: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to window server - not enough permissions.

      If I log in as this user on the Mac, slave works well: it has window server when the user is logged in. But as soon as the user logs out - slave falls offline with message

      ERROR: Connection terminated
java.io.IOException: Unexpected termination of the channel

      The issue resolves completely if I specify -Djava.awt.headless=true in JVM options in "nodes" configuration.
      But it is surely a regression as compared to 1.486.

      (wasn't sure what component to assign this issue to, so selected everything with "slave" word on it. Sorry for that if it's an inconvenience)

      UPD: Meant "MacOS", not iOS

          Thanks for the workaround. We saw the same failure after updating from 1.486 to 1.490. Our 10.7.5 build nodes were dead in the water.

          Workaround : add JVM options -Djava.awt.headless=true , this disabled the use of ui

          Thanks for the work-around. Unfortunately, this appears to affect the LTS release line as well.
