Abhijit,
Did you try running it in the foreground first (without the
'&')? Some applications require a terminal to work atleast during
initialization and putting it in background mode may just stop the
process. The other thing to check for is whether your .xsession-errors
file shows any error messages. If it shows access denied type messages,
perhap you need to run xhost or an equivalent program on your NT machine.
