osso-xterm only supports one argument.

So your best course of action is:
1. Create /usr/local/bin/ssh-localforward.sh
with contents:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ssh -L 3389:xxx.xxx.1.xxx:3389 root@mydns -p XXXX
exit 0
2. Make executable:
Code:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ssh-localforward.sh
3. Change:
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm ssh -L 3389:xxx.xxx.1.xxx:3389 root@mydns -p XXXX
to:
Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm /usr/local/bin/ssh-localforward.sh
