Two other ways:
Run gdmconfig on the linux side, click the XDMPC tab and enable
XMDPC logins.
On the windows side run
Xwin -query linux_server
You should get a graphic login prompt.
This gives you a complete Linux desktop in what appears as one
MS window. Note that you have to disable the XP firewall for
this to work.
Or,
>From a cygwin bash prompt on the windows side:
export DISPLAY=:0
Xwin -clipboard -multiwindow &
ssh -y linux_server
log in, start X program(s) by typing their names
Each program started should open in it's own individual
window on your desktop and appear like separate MS programs.
Note that you can run 'nautilus' and get what looks like
the desktop without menus or task bars, and you can then
start programs which have launchers in the filesystem (and
you can create these easily by dragging them off the gnome
menu during a normal login). Programs started this way
also get their own window. I'm not sure if there is a KDE
equivalent.
