You are running "xterm" on the remote machine and the -display :0 parameter is instructing it to open an xterm on the remote machine. The message is indicating that "X" isn't running on the remote machine. If it were, and if the X server was configure to allow connections, the command would have appeared to hang as an xterm window would be open on the remote machine. (I'm guessing you aren't in physical proximity to the remote machine.) > Adding "-display :0 -bg black -fg white" to Terminal options > does not seem to have any effect, nor does "-bg black -fg white". > > I still would verify exactly what terminal program is being started on the local machine. You can't do this in the terminal that the menu item starts since you've ssh'd to the remote machine. You will have to open a konsole or gnome terminal on the local machine....run the menu item...and then check to see if you have an xterm running....or something else.
