[poky] TERMCMD and SSH

[Gary Thomas]

I often build Poky on remote systems which I access using 'ssh -X' (SSH
connection with X forwarding).  However, I have problems when the build
needs to open a terminal window, e.g. 'bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig'
I get this error:

| Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting.  Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have 
stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Address does not contain a colon)

As far as I can see, bitbake is trying to run this command:
   gnome-terminal --disable-factory -t "something" -x "make menuconfig"

If I run this command manually from my SSH window, it works fine.
How can I get it working from bitbake?  I tried adding 'SSH_CONNECTION'
and 'DISPLAY' (both set specially in this situation) to BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE
without success.

Thanks
