I try to remember
the last time i did this was a year ago, so maybe you need the man pages to manage this.
But, the window system doesnot know where to open the terminal OR is not allowed to open a terminal
First thing you can try is;
>> xhosts + #on the console window as root
and try to restart the admintool
or sete the env. param. DISPLAY by (if on the csh)
>> setenv DISPLAY `hostname`
I hope this helps
