That does seem odd. I don't know why you could execute it successfully
from command line but not in your .fvwm2rc file. When it freezes your
display, I don't think killing the rsh process will help. You may have
to go to the machine 'toronto' and kill the 'xterm' process you
started there.
What I don't understand is, why are you running xterm
on a remote system and displaying it to your local display? It would be
much simpler and faster to do something like:
xterm -e "ssh -l maxwell toronto" in your .fvwm2rc file.
Unless you don't have xterm installed on your local LINUX system, I
really don't see the advantage in running one remotely. This is not a
solution to your problem, just an alternative. And I think 'ssh' is much
better to use in you case since it uses the secure X channel and sets
your display automatically for you, and 'rsh' is actually something that
should not be used any more.
