The STUPID terminal is starting in the local box, so now the question is:
why is it ignoring the DISPLAY variable?
Grrrrrrr...

Hello all:
This is so freaking odd that I'll explain it with a series of commands:
There are 2 computers involved, linuxbox (Mint Tara) and wincrap (Win 7).
In linuxbox I type:
etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT:~$
ssh -fCXY localhost xclock
And I get my banana (xclock starts)
Then
etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT:~$
ssh -fCXY localhost gnome-terminal
and (AMAZINGLY!!!!) I get another terminal window.
So far so good.
Linux is B-O-R-I-N-G...
Now we move to a cygwin shell in wincrap and I type:
etroconis@ETROCONIS-DT:~ $
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT xclock
And (voila), predictably and reliably I again get my banana-clock,
so FINAL ACT:
etroconis@ETROCONIS-DT:~ $
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
But nope... 8(
My terminal never starts in the WinCrap box!
So, In summary:
Please look at the 2 lines together (can you tell the difference?)
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT xclock
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
I know that things work locally.
I know that clock works remotely.
I know that gnome-terminal DOES NOT works remotely.
Does anybody have any idea why? :(
Thanks for reading my rant...
