So, when connecting via SSH/PuTTY, then the DISPLAy should be set to localhost:10.0 by SSH, correct?

Yes - that's mostly magic done by sshd when the client requests forwarding. I think the actual number would depend on what ports were already in use on the server side.

And I still recommend at least looking at NX/freenx. It's a painless windows installer and a yum install on the centos side. Even if you get xming working you aren't going to like running it over the internet much. Even if you have good bandwidth, the latency makes it slow to respond.
