I have used xwin32, and this is what you do:
Run xwin32
Connect to remote system via telnet/ssh/etc and "export
DISPLAY="111.111.111.111:0.0" where 111.111.111.111 is your IP.
On remote system run x applications (for example "$
/usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox"
Note that you can only run window managers in single window mode -- if
you're running in multiple, just run the apps directly (like "$ xterm &").
Use xutil32 to set your window mode. Hope that helps.
