In other words, I want to do the opposite of everyone else.
I want to run an application on windows and see it remotely from Linux
machine. From linux I would:
"ssh -Y machine.that.goes.ping"
to windows host running cygwin/X.
Then execute something like
"explorer.exe"
and have the windows explorer running remotely on the windows machine
popup on my linux desktop.
Is this possible?
I know about VNC and RDesktop. I want to just have the application
window not a window with the full desktop.
