Don't do this. 'ssh -X' and 'ssh -Y' set DISPLAY properly if the X-server
is running on your local system.
5. no error (just exit code) application did not start
6. $ net helpmsg 53
The network path was not found.
Sounds like the classic symptom of a missing needed DLL. Run
'cygcheck ssh' on your local system to find the DLL(s) that's missing.
Then install the package(s) with the needed DLL(s).
