[IDV #GCG-178299]: problem running IDV on Windows 7 using Xming and SecureCRT

> When running idv3.1 on a linux machine, we get the following error:

John,
     Running IDV on a remote machine is always problematic. There are many 
issues related to display setting and the network connection. We don't have 
better suggestion at this moment. Sorry about this.
