I would recommend cygwin/X. I use it almost every day at work through a
putty ssh tunnel and I'm very happy with it.

Do I need an xserver running on my windows box?  That may be my problem.
If so, could someone suggest one.  I did a quick search and I found
several that you have to pay for.

Todd-

What errors are you getting when try to launch an X application? Are you
running an X server on your windows machine?

Have you restarted sshd since changing sshd_config?
