I rather think the problem is related to the way X Windows manages security. In principle, xauth stores a key in ~/.Xauthority whenever the user grants permission to a host (display) to connect to the X server but sometimes the user's key changes and the connection could not be stablished unless the .Xauthority file is deleted or recreated. I had forgotten that some time ago I had a similar problem while trying to set up my network (nfs) account after installing a new SuSE version.

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?
