I set it at both ends with "TERM=xterm;export TERM". I only have that 
problem thru ssh -X with that particular command "xm create -c mydom", 
which -c is to open the console of the xen guest.

Any other commands, like xterm, xclock, gnome-terminal, or virt-manager 
... all run fine with ssh -X, i.e., they all show up on my workstation 
as expected.
