didn't help too :(
I have Win XP SP2, under this system I had installed Cygwin 1.5 and
launch
GUI apps via ssh
worked. Now I have Win XP SP2 too, but current Cygwin version is 1.7.1
- It
doesn't work.

        You are trying to launch the Windows screen apps as the user that owns
the screen, correct?


        Thanks,

Mike



   Yes. I'll try to explain better: I'm log on to windows as e.g. User1, that
is administrator user. When I start cygwin shell I can simply run:
    $notepad

I see Notepad application correct launched, but If I do it this way:

   $ssh us...@localhost
us...@localhost's password:
Last login: Fri Feb 26 18:00:01 2010 from localhost

us...@athlon ~
$ notepad

I have notepad launched (I see it on process ) but it cannot draw correctly
himself on the screen. The same behaviour was in Cygwin 1.5, but then
sufficient thing to do was simply select SSHD service option: "Allow service
to interact with desktop", which was solve the problem.

With Cygwins' 1.7 SSHD, selection this option does not take any effect, I
have still this unexpected to me behaviour.

There are more authentication options in 1.7 which may help:

However, I will say that you shouldn't get too used to this working, since
MS removed the capability after XP.
