I use LTSP to run a diskless Linux workstation. I'm running two Windows programs on top of it regularly (two dictionaries). And they work exactly the same as they work on the main machine. I have also tried some other programs too, and never seen any difference beetween the local and the remote machine (wrt this).
So it works pretty good. I dont know for what the above cygwin and double ssh is needed. I dont need it :)
Think about it: the computer I was using was running Windows XP. The only free X server for Windows I know of is the Cygwin one. ssh was needed to get to the remote computer to start the X program.
I'm not saying everyone is going to use this configuration -- in fact, the test was more for humor value than anything else -- but there's no reason it shouldn't work. - Dan
