You'll need to run gnome-terminal from the initial xterm, or from
X11's Application menu, or after starting X11 do "export DISPLAY=:0"
in a Terminal.app, or install the update do launchd will do
forwarding automatically.
Starting on Leopard, Apple sets the DISPLAY variable for you in a way
that X11 should auto-launch when you request an X11 program. So
Brandon, you should not manually set DISPLAY, and Peng, I don't
understand why X11 did not auto-launch for you. Do you have DISPLAY
set to something in for example your .profile? If so, remove that,
close the Terminal, open a new one, and try again.
Also, note that you can install the xorg-server port and the quartz-wm
port in MacPorts, and use /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app instead of
Apple's /Applications/Utilities/X11.app. This is a slightly newer
version of X11 than the one you'd get from Apple.
