In duplicate bug: 139846 Per Steinar Iversen comments: "The problem seems to be solved if the new -Y option is passed to ssh and not -X as in previous versions." Specifically, if you add the -Y to the ssh to the FC2 machine then the launched xterm won't exhibit this problem. (worked for me anyway).
