AFAIK, it can't work. sshd and child apps are running as services
with no connection to the current desktop sessions. From these
processes point of view there isn't a desktop to run on.
However, there is a way to allow that. Change the service properties
of sshd. There's a switch "Allow service to interact with desktop".
If you switch this on and restart the service, you now have a console
window open in which the service is running. Now you can ssh to this
box and start notepad and it will appear on the desktop. Unfortunately
you can't avoid the console window for the service process now...
