That is the expected result. 

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.)

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.
