Running gnome on a remote machine

[Scott Mohnkern]

I'm interested in opening up the Cygwin Xserver, and then connecting to 
a remote machine, and starting the gnome desktop.  Log is below.

command I used:

/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe :9 -query <hostname>

Symptom's I'm seeing.

A new Cygwin/X windows is opening up, however the gnome desktop is never 
coming up.

Am I missing something, or a step?




$ /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe :9 -query <hostname>
