Hi,
I don't know the solution to your overall problem, but I can give you
some small advice about terminals.
Use the following command to tell your console terminal where your display is,
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
That's the magic env-var that your xterms are using to pop things up
on your display. If you do that and then run your X apps they should
properly appear in your GUI. Well, until you hit the next problem :)
Hope that helps!
