Remote X11 Connections

[bronto]

Making progress.  Ran gdmconfig and made the settings, restarted gdm 
when the GUI config tool gave me that option.

Now I go to my PC and try to start an X session.  I ran the command 
line from within cygwin:

xwin.exe :2 -kb > -query IPADDRESS_HERE > /dev/null 2>&1 &

(of course substituting my actual IP address)

and it started an X session, but not anything more.  No login or 
anything.  You know, the screen with the gray background and the big 
X cursor.  The command line reported back:

[1] 753049

I've got no idea whether this was a local session of X, or whether it 
was actually connecting to my server.  After closing the X window I 
tried the exact same thing again and got:

[2] 733393
[1]   Done 		xwin.exe :2 -kb > -query IPADDRESS_HERE > 
/dev/null 2>&1 &

Next?
