A decentish alternative to this would be to set up a VNC server on your
Linux box and a VNC viewer on your Windows 95 PC. That way, all the 
software behaves as if it were running locally on the Linux PC.

Of course, the downside is the amount of data traffic (so don't do it on
anything less than an ethernet network connection) and the loss of
colour-depth of the screen image. It could save you some time/effort,
depending on what you need X11 on your Windows 95 PC for.
