Starting native windows GUI app via ssh.

[Roger Wells]

A few weeks I asked for help with the same problem.  The advice that 
worked (I think)  was to be sure that the installation of sshd was such 
that it is allowed to interact with the desktop.
In any case I have it working in my situation so let me know if you need 
more help.
