Hm.. I don't see why that needs to be the case. If you have Cygwin+Xfree86 in 
your local as the X server, then if you ssh into the remote machine, you can 
just run any x-client. The x-client will connect to your local X-server (ie. 
cygwin). No X-server needs to run on the remote machine.

startx is to start an X server. Of course something like that won't work. You 
can only run X-client on the remote server.
