An alternative to a windows X Server is to use VNC. It's not quite the same
as a proper X session, but The beauty of it is that there's a Win32 client
(and server). It also runs quite well over slow connections.
Redhat 7 comes with it, or check out www.tightvnc.com for the WIn32 client
and Linux server.
It's also free, which is better than most X Servers for Windows.
