More Info:

The forwarded X11 (which is from a Windows machine running Exceed to a Linux machine) works without the gitk file mentioned above, if I edit the 'rgb.txt' used by Exceed to contain something like:

 50 205  50		lime
Before the editing the file only contained the following:
 50 205  50		lime green
 50 205  50		LimeGreen
I couldn't do the same for the VNC connection though (Xvnc seems to use a hardcoded 'rgb.txt' file).
It seems that using 'lime' was not the best choice...
