Jason,

I'm in the same boat as you.  I probably wouldn't care too much about this 
except that I need to use Aventail to access my employer's network.  I work 
100% at a customer site for my job and don't even have an office at any of 
my employer's sites to use on occasion.  Therefore, I use it from home and 
at the customer's site to access my employer's intranet.  I'm stuck.  And 
I'm sure as hell not going to buy a full license for a commercial X package.

Anyway, what I did was add xterm.exe, twm.exe, xclock.exe, etc. in the 
"Secure all applications except listed" list.  This is on the Advanced tab 
in the Aventail config tool.  I also found that my config file had a 
redirection rule for 127.0.0.1 that I changed to "Do not redirect" but it 
turned out that it doesn't have any effect on the problem either way.

Good luck,

Chris
