Why I can't 'ssh -fCXY /usr/bin/gnome-terminal' ? Grrrrr....

Hello all:
This is so freaking odd that I'll explain it with a series of commands:

There are 2 computers involved, linuxbox (Mint Tara) and wincrap (Win 7).

In linuxbox I type:

etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT:~$
ssh -fCXY localhost xclock

And I get my banana (xclock starts)

Then

etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT:~$
ssh -fCXY localhost gnome-terminal

and (AMAZINGLY!!!!) I get another terminal window.
So far so good.
Linux is B-O-R-I-N-G...

Now we move to a cygwin shell in wincrap and I type:

etroconis@ETROCONIS-DT:~ $
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT xclock

And (voila), predictably and reliably I again get my banana-clock,
so FINAL ACT:

etroconis@ETROCONIS-DT:~ $
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT /usr/bin/gnome-terminal

But nope...    8(
My terminal never starts in the WinCrap box! 

So, In summary:
Please look at the 2 lines together (can you tell the difference?)
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT xclock
DISPLAY=:0.0 ssh -fCXY etroconis@ETROCONIS02-DT /usr/bin/gnome-terminal

I know that things work locally.
I know that clock works remotely.
I know that gnome-terminal DOES NOT works remotely.
Does anybody have any idea why? :(
Thanks for reading my rant...
