It might be an IDL problem. I use Xming on my Windows system
and work on several Linux computers. Some application have
problems opening the display.
When I look at the enviromnent variable DISPLAY usually I get
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

wich might tell the X Client (iTools in your case) that you are
working on a local X Server (that part of the X Window system 
where your screen, keyboard ... are connected to).
If the application tries to use a short cut for a local server
this may fail. I don't know if this is the case but iTools isn't
the only application that fails with Xming.
