Just a note to myself. To start the X server on Cygwin simply type:
startx
Check on the remote machine that the DISPLAY setting is pointing back to your local machine when the Cgywin X server is running. For some reason I thought it was going to be much more difficult. When the X terminal window comes up you can check the permissions of your local machine by typing
xhost +
Issues:
Cutting and pasting between X and Windows
Caveats:
Don't kill the terminal machine or all of your X applications will die.
