Although it enables copy/paste as the way in linux, it does not seem to support -X option of ssh. I want to run gnuplot on a remote computer and send the graph back to the local computer for me to see, and I use ssh -X to set up the connection. But gnuplot fails and the following information is sent back gnuplot: unable to open display '' gnuplot: X11 aborted. This does not seem to go with cygwin. Any idea towards this?
