Thanks for any suggestions. I'm quite sure this in an X issue. Wasn't MIT supposed to be working on "low-bandwidth X" years ago?
Yes, they did and it's been available for a while now. You run the app "lbxproxy" on the local end (home) set up to connect to your work server, and then do a normal X connect to the local server connection that is presented by lbxproxy.
This assumes the normal case, that the remote server includes the LBX server extension.
Thanks, but I get the following error
% lbxproxy _LBXPROXYTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
If I try to hack up a bogus root user by adding it to the cygwin /etc/passwd, then chown says
% chown root .X11-unix chown: changing ownership of `.X11-unix': Invalid argument
which is different than if I try to chown it to some non-existent user:
% chown foo .X11-unix chown: `foo': invalid user
