display remote X client on cygwin machine's display?

[Andrew Clarke]

Check out the "Running remote programs locally" thread where I asked 
this question and it was answered very thoroughly.

Short answer:

1. Run xwin.exe.  I like to run xwin.exe -multiwindow personally but 
that's up to you.
2. From your shell prompt, ensure that your DISPLAY environment variable 
is set to localhost:0.0, 127.0.0.1:0, or whatever flavour of that you 
prefer.
3. ssh -X yourlinuxcomputer
4. go crazy with all your favourite X-based apps ;-)

Then I run KDE-cygwin and ssh to the same server from a Konsole, but I get the same error when I run gnucash. Yet this works when ssh'ing from my linux-based laptop, which runs KDE. Is there a way with cygwin to display X clients I launch on a remote machine on the local display?
