As per James's email, go to <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cygwin.com/";>http://www.cygwin.com/</a> and install Cygwin on
your XP machine.  Be sure to select the XFree86 optional components.  

Launch X on your XP machine (start cygwin.bat, type &quot;$
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat&quot;) and a small X will appear in the task
bar.  

Ssh with the X11 forwarding option enabled (check under &quot;tunneling&quot; on
your client).  The X11 forwarding will automagically setup the DISPLAY
variable to localhost:10.0, and forward any graphical display from the
Linux box to your XP's X server.  (Way too many X's here.)

Now you should be able to launch startx, or use xnest in Cygwin to get a
GDM/KDM console inside a window, or just run specific apps and send
their output to your XP box as XP-managed windows.

Another cool trick is installing VNC (bound to localhost only) and SSHd
(from the Cygwin installer) and remotely controlling your XP box from
Linux, all over an encrypted, ssh tunnel/session.  For directions,
visit:
