You weren't clear on exactly what you want to happen.  If you wish to see
the window pop up on the remote machine's desktop, you need to add the
"Allow service to interact with desktop" checkmark in the sshd service
description (or, alternatively, install it with the '-i' cygrunsrv flag).

If you want the window to be forwarded over to the local machine (i.e.,
the one you're ssh'ing from), that is not currently possible with Windows.
One thing you can try is use a tool like VNC (which you can forward over
ssh, too).
HTH,
