My approach is simply to run multiple desktops on my windows machine.
I dedicate one to Cygwin/X and use the others for Windows programs.
XP has a simple multi-desktop system that comes with it (I can't
remember
running xdm (or a dolled up version
such as wdm, kdm or gdm) as well and it needs to be configured right.
Having seen this second question of yours, are you trying to run
mozilla across an ADSL or similar connection? I very occasionally do
this but it's very, very, slow - like it can take min
uldn't need any more packages assuming you have downloaded the
default set.
I run my whole Linux desktop on my Windows PC without problems using
Cygwin/X (and xdm on the remote Linux system).

Some time soon I'm going to have to upgrade my present Cygwin/X
installation which is mostly 4.3.0.x Xfree to the latest Xorg
versions.
How painless is this likely to be? I run Cygwin/X on a Win2k machine
and use it to display my Slackware Linux desktop using xdm.

It's fixable by setting DISPLAY in the environment but it's a bit
confusing.
Come to that why on earth does xlsfonts want to open the display
anyway, it only outputs to the console window.

No it doesn't, this still confuses me, there are Keep, Prev, Curr and

minal, in that case all you need
to do is run the cygwin object that should be on your desktop and you
have something like wghat you're after.
If you want a 'proper' Unix/Linux terminal then you need rxvt which
you may or may not have downloaded with cygwin.

Is xdm actually running on the Redhat system? On most Linux systems
it isn't started by default I don't think, I usually add it to the
rc.local file.

I have recently changed because X-Win32 was becoming a bit expensive
for a home (sort of SoHo) user. Cygwin seems to be just as good, and
the clipboard handling is better now.

The window works otherwise, it redisplays the above after every

I've not done anything apart from installing rxvt (by using
