the local machine. You can't do this in the terminal that the menu item
starts since you've ssh'd to the remote machine.
You will have to open a konsole or gnome terminal on the local
machine....run the menu item...and then check to see if you have an
xterm running....or something else.
Thanks for your continuing help.
Actually "ps aux" does not contain any mention of xterm,
but does contain the entry
konsole -caption=helen -icon -e /usr/bin/ssh -Y helen-vpn
only when the menu item is running.
My ignorant feeling is that a konsole window is opened,
and then the ssh command creates the white-on-black window.
