Even if you don't like it? I just tried it using a local Cygwin/XFree86
server. Then I called Cygwin ssh-2.9p2 to login interactively to my Linux
box. Then I looked for the value of $DISPLAY:

	cygwinbox:10.0

then I started xterm... and it worked. No problem here. You will
have to debug what's going on. Use `ssh -v -v -v' and start sshd
on your Linux box using `sshd -d' to get lot's of debug output.
