Subject:	ssh x forwarding

In ssh you get x forwarding.  But, I can't seem to get it working.  A
command like:

  ssh -l <user> <system> <x app>

always responds with something like:

 Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Is there some configuration that needs to take place in cygwin first?  Yes I
can log in by dropping the <x app> part and yes the <x app> is available.
Tried running the above from a terminal that displayed after doing a
"startx" too... same result.  So I have to figure I just don't have
something setup correctly.
