        The remote envrionment probably doesn't have /usr/X11R6/bin
(or wherever your xterm lives) in it.  Your .profile (or another dot
file) probably tweaks the path.  Check /etc/profile or the like.

lemur:~ 402> ssh -\? 2>&1 | grep background
  -f          Fork into background after authentication.
