I often want to use an Xserver under Windows for connecting to a linux host.
After quite a while of using cygwin to acheive this, I discovered Xming which is based on the same xwindow code but is packaged specifically for providing a windows Xserver. Much simpler to use than installing and configuring cygwin which invariably involves editing the PATH variable on the windows machine and creating a suitable launch icon.
However, if your window manager on the client is KDE, you may well find that if you enable the clipboard support then the Xserver will hang immediately after login using XDMCP.
The solution to this is to edit your gdm.conf file and add the line
KillInitClients=false
in the [daemon] section
Restart gdm and you'll find that you can login and all will work.
