Just to be clear on this: you're connecting via ssh to a Cygwin box (call
it "A") from another machine (call it "B"), and you want the application
started from that ssh session to show up on "A"'s display?  If so, look
into the "--interactive" flag to cygrunsrv (this will also pop up a
console window for the sshd process -- an unfortunate, but unavoidable,
side-effect).
