More updates.
d.mon displays a window.
gis.m displays the Output window and the map logo window. But doesn't display the window where you can actually do things. And when I type say g.list in the xterm window, nothing happens.

This question is only partially related to grass. I'm currently in
Rome (at FAO) for a couple of months and want to use xwindows on my
laptop to access my linux box with grass on it back home in the
states. I'm staying in an apartment that uses a usb ADSL connection
(tisoli for those who might know about this). I have tried the
following.1. run xming with the default settings created with xlaunch (starts a passive x server)
2. run either putty or ssh with x tunneling turned on
3. in the terminal window I can type xclock & and the little clock window shows up.However, when I type grass63, choose my region and then gis.m, if I
get anything it takes a LOOOOOONG time for the logo window to appear
and the output window, but the gui never shows up.Any tips on how to do this appreciated. Do I need to set the DISPLAY
variable on the linux box? Any other settings I should know about?The only other thing which I can suggest is to enable "trusted" X11
forwarding in ssh, using "ssh -Y" (rather than "ssh -X") or by setting
ForwardX11Trusted in the client config file.--
