A remote X server won't help you very much because you won't see what
the client is asking it to display!  Is what you want, perhaps, a Win32
X server so you can run X clients on a Unix box and have them display
locally on your Windows machine.  I've heard of a few Win32 X servers,
there was one called XWin32, another called Xceed and there's yet
another I've heard of but I can't recall the name. :(  I've never used
any of them so I can't really help you any more than that.

Regards,

Christian.
