I have a shiny new Fedora 8 system with GNOME.
When I log in locally, everything is nice.

Now I am trying to login from my Windows XP desktop,
where I have PUTTY (ssh) and MicroImages X server
installed.

I can login with ssh, and set the DISPLAY variable.
xclock comes up just fine on my X server. But when
I type "gnome-session" into my ssh-provided
bash session, a red rectangle flashes for an
instant on my X display, then I get this message
on the bash session:

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-session' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 296 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Aborted

Any idea what is wrong and how to fix it?

1. use vnc.
2. I actually prefer to do it the other way, login to Linux then rdesktop (tslcient is a wrapper for rdesktop) to the dosbox. I maintain Windows Server 2003 this way.
