Yes, I've used Xming for years on Windows desktops and it works quite well, and it is quite easy to set up an icon for the requested Rivendell app, runs just like any other app (minus the sound of course).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ I have also experimented with audio transport - running Jack on the Rivendell end and a VOIP app, routing the Rivendell in/out audio to VOIP via Jack. To launch from Windows involves first "calling" the Rivendell box with a VOIP client before launching the Rivendell application via Xming. It works, although you do get the bit of delay that any VOIP setup gives. Its possible do the same thing for audio with VNC.
