Well, the behavior seem's to be related to (my ?) network wide settings. Using local account on my machine with ssh -X to_the_host -l username everything IS working. So it's not (only?) a problem of the xterm, but might be related to personal settings. However, the home is located on a NFS share. Can this be the reason ? (locking the same file ?)

This is weird, if the DISPLAY variable is correctly set and the network services are up I would look for missing link libraries. What does 'ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm' shows?
