Has anyone done this before?

[Bill Medland]

I would be interested in knowing if anyone has succeeded with this before I 
start getting too carried away trying to fix the errors.  When I tried I got 
an X error (BadWindow).

I am sitting at a RedHat 8.0 computer
with a VPN tunnel to a remote network (Microsoft VPN server)
ssh through that VPN to a remote computer running RHEL3 (ES)
Set DISPLAY back to my end of the VPN tunnel, to my display
Prove it works by typing xterm in the ssh session
Try running winemine
After rebuilding the cached metrics it momentarily (in the non-American sense) 
opens something and then closes it and gives me the X error.

Does this stand a chance of actually working?
