I already use ssh -Y ... to login to any *nix machine over ssh. (Do I need -X?) I prefer it to tools like putty. But I don't want to install Emacs on the VM. It's already much larger (both disk and memory) than I would want. Also, putting the extra load of Emacs on the VM's CPU is something I'd like to avoid. > Works fine, except that the most recent version of X Windows on Cygwin > seems to have some bug that makes it very slow (as of a week ago); I'm > using the "previous" version. That's good to know. I just upgraded yesterday (was only looking to install xhost), and have noticed that everything's much slower. I thought it was just my machine. Will watch for an upgrade.
