Based on the above, I'm not sure that Xnest will do what you want after all. Instead, I've had success using your original: $ start XWin -rootless -query host Then in your XDMCP session, run $ xhost +localhost to allow local X apps to connect to the server. (I'm sure you could get fancy and do some proper Xauthority stuff here.) I then created a script called 'startxapp.bat': Essentially just the first part of 'startxwin.bat' which sets up the path, and then: run %1 Create a shortcut to this, passing the name of the local X app you wish to run as a paramater. It all works very nicely. Rasjid.
