[ale] Cygwin Or...?

[James P. Kinney III]

Cygwin has an X server that is pretty good. Back in 2001, I was running
Xfce in a Win2k box and using that to connect to other HP-UX machines
for X applications. 

Vnc might be a different avenue to explore. It can be used to remotely
run anything on any box from any platform and can do it over ssh.
