Windows GUI apps from xterm


Hello all,

I am on windows terminal server "win_ts":
When executing a windows GUI application such as "calc" from a cygwin shell, it works just fine, without setting any DISPLAY env variable.
Now if I connect to terminal server "win_ts" from a unix xterm - I am still on the same terminal server - and try to run "calc", it hangs, but running something like xcalc works fine.


It seems that running pure windows GUI app such as "calc" only woks from a cygwin shell, and not connecting to the cygwin shell from a unix xterm even though everything is happening on the same windows terminal server.

Please advice.

-Mahdi
