Thank you Samuel; "export WINDOWPATH=7" prior to client connection solves
the problem.

Though I'm not sure why this is now necessary. Last time it was working was
using Ubuntu 8.04; I've since upgraded to 9.10. Just using a standard X
session, with standard gnome-terminals. Any idea what would have changed,
and how I can fix this long-term?

Cheers,
Simon
