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!
