Just wanted to say that I have used the cygwin setup to do this; it's pretty 
easy.

Just establish a ssh X session (ssh -X), then launch an xterm. (though, 
you'll need to setup some things for ssh first. There's a variety of 
suggested methods for this. A good overview is available at 
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~cs252/unix/xwin.html#xx__1_5 )

Peace,
Clayton
