I'm afraid so.  It's unclear why Windows imposes this restriction, but if
your sshd is running as a non-SYSTEM user, it can't interact with the
desktop.  I was going to suggest using "cygstart", but even that
apparently doesn't work as-is.  It probably can be patched up to obtain
the current window station and ask the shell to execute the program there,
but <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>.
