Basically, you want to turn on X tunnelling...  Most SSH clients for 
win have this option somewhere...  That will usually set the display
env. on the remote host automatically - if you have the X server
running on the PC before you SSH over..  Works like a charm for me..
All you have to do on the far end is to start the X apps - or with
certain X servers, you can do a ssh connect automatically and start
an app.  (X-Win32 comes to mind...)
