Alexander,

Thanks a lot for your information.  The problem has been solved after 
reading the documentation you gave.  In addition, I found DISPLAY of remote 
host needs not to be set anymore.  Actually I cannot open the GUI if I set 
it to my local display.  Do you have any idea of this?

Thanks,
Jinming
