When you install the sshd service on the remote machine, it will require
the "--interactive" flag to cygrunsrv if it is to launch GUI apps. 
Perhaps the easiest way to accomplish this is to remove the sshd
service, edit ssh-host-config to include the flag on the install line
(cygrunsrv -I sshd ... ) and re-run ssh-host-config to reinstall the
service.
