Re: Bug in remote gui app execution via ssh

The bug is as follows:
A remote system R has Cygwin sshd running from version 5.8p1-1 of
openssh. The daemon is running as a service, configured using the
directions at
http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html.
Further, the service is running under the "Local System account", and in
its properties as a service, "Allow service to interact with desktop"
has been checked.
A couple things to note here:
1. We don't support other people's recipes for configuring any Cygwin
package. Generally when someone reports a problem after using an
external source for configuration help, this list suggests looking
to the authors of the help for support.
2. Interacting with the desktop through a service is really only
supported for XP and older systems. Since most of the other details
you report also suggest that you're using XP, I'll surmise you are,
though it would be best if you followed the problem reporting guidelines
found here - http://cygwin.com/problems.html - just so we don't have to
make these kind of guesses.
You might try downgrading to 5.6p1 if you have not done so already.
