Leo, I am sure that someone else covered this - you need a local X server. Cygwin, or Hummingbird, or one of a hundred others. Then you run putty, and say: 'startkde'.. or whatever the gnome startup is. You have to run software locally that is capable of recieving the X protocol. On Linux, you run 'startx', but that runs _native_ code that receives and sends the X protocol. You need an X-Windows emulator for Windows.
