No. This is not possible with X11 Forwarding.

Thanks for the response. Your answer probably still stands, but I just wanted to point out a typo of mine, just in case it threw anyone off. That should have read:
"Is is possible, though, to do the opposite: i.e., use X11 forwarding to have GUI apps from my Windows box run remotely on my *LINUX* box?"
No, but you can use either VNC or RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to accomplish this. VNC will work on pretty much any version of Windows, while RDP would require Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 (set to remote admin mode, which allows a max of two remote sessions at a time). There are VNC and RDP clients for X systems, including those running Linux.
Hope that helps,
Harold
