Problem running Yahoo! WDK over SSH X11 forwarding

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an web application for TV using Yahoo! Widget Development Kit  (http://developer.yahoo.com/connectedtv/). Yahoo only provide their WDK for Ubuntu 32bit and I am using Arch 64bit . So I have to use VirtualBox to run an Ubuntu guest to develop. I don't want to spend all my time in Ubuntu so I have setup a SSH server in the Ubuntu guest with the X11Forwarding enabled. I can connect from my Arch (host) to Ubuntu guest with the command:

ssh -X admin@my-ubuntu-host

And start Gedit in the console, Gedit ran just fine in my Arch X Server.
But when I tried to launch the Yahoo! TV Simulator (a part of Yahoo WDK) with the command:

/usr/local/bin/Konfabulator --Latest

I've got the following error:

***********************
 Reading Simulator Settings 



You have configured the Simulator to use the following shared widgets directory: /devwidgets 
 This can be changed using the Simulator Settings shortcut in the Applications menu




***********************
 Finished Reading Simulator Settings 



[0:00:00:000 2351] Logging is disabled
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0".
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomesegvhandler": libgnomesegvhandler.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here is what I've got on my Arch host:

[tinh@my-laptop ~]$ xrandr -v
xrandr program version       1.3.4
Server reports RandR version 1.3

And here is on the Ubuntu guest

admin@ubuntu:~$ xrandr -v
xrandr program version       1.3.2
Server reports RandR version 1.3

Any help would be appreciated!
