Notepad is not an X client application, so no amount of X11 mischief
will affect it at all. That is probably not what the OP wants anyway.
I want to think that the ability to spawn GUI processes from an SSH
session stopped working for Windows Vista and above. Earlier Windows
versions can supposedly be made to do it by granting the desktop
interaction right to the account used to run the SSH server, but I
haven't tried to do that.
This issue has cropped up in the mailing list before with a fair bit of
discussion. Search the mailing list archives for details.
