Reinstall 'sshd' specifying the '-i' flag to 'cygrunsrv' or edit the
current service under "Administrative Tools"->"Services" and check
"Allow service to interact with desktop" in the "Log On" tab of the
service's "Properties".  Please note that this will display the program
on the server, not the client.  Running X programs doesn't require this
dance, though I assume you were referring to Windows apps.
