You've probably thought of this, but just in case, let me ask this: If you're 
logging in through ssh, is it on some breed of Unix/BSD/Linux where you can 
forward X11 events?  I do that on some of my systems.  That way I can run a 
command in the command line, on ssh, and it opens the window on my computer.
