Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch through SSH with X11 forwarding on CentOS 7.3, comparing it with a local VNC or Citrix display-manager launch. Investigate the password manager service initialization in the SSH-launched session; done means Storage Explorer starts successfully over SSH and preserves the working local-display behavior.
