Hi,

If I understand correctly what you want to do: remotely displaying apps
running on Linux on a Windows box, you might be better off using VNC
(stands for Virtual Network Computing). It is free software (in the GNU
GPL sense) and can be found at http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc/.

I've used it and it works fine. I think there's one difference: X-Win
(if I'm not mistaking) allows you to have an X-window as an ordinary
window in Windows. Using VNC you have a view of your whole X desktop.
Shouldn't be a problem, I think.

Good luck!

Bart
