Xterm vs VNC in RHEL 6

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone has had the same issue but it seems that from version 6 of RHEL I am unable to install Oracle through an XTerm connection.
Normally how I would proceed was setting the DISPLAY on the Linux box to my desktop, launch an Xsession on my desktop and launch the Universal Installer on the Linux box. No issues there, the Installer would just pop-up on my desktop and I can install.

But it seems on RHEL 6 this method stopped working, I get no XTerm error he just sits there... I already tried the XTerm installation itself by going to the console and launching XClock, no problem, it launches. When I do the same to a remote desktop, ie. on my client, it doesn't do anything, there's no error, he just waits.

Howdy, Stranger!
