More like the later. I only run Windows in a VM anymore and I only
really use it for Playon (See http://playon.tv) - that and I have some
Perl code I want to make sure works on Windows through Cygwin. So most
of the time I'm not running any X stuff on Cygwin.

That seems to be it - ForwardX11 was commented out in /etc/sshd_config
on the Cygwin box. Is this a new default?
In any event thanks.
