Besides cygwin-X, there's also the vastly easier Xming, from Freedesktop.org. It's a port of Xorg to Windows, and it can use putty to run X11 over SSH. It doesn't need cygwin or anything like that, since it's self-contained. Comes with a decent launcher GUI too. http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ > X-Win32 v9 looks like it has some really nifty features.
