You can avoid cygwin with Xming: http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/
Xming looks quite good from the website that says what it does. It's much smaller than cygwin too. (I'll try cygwin later too)
However I have Xming installed and tried the XLauncher but I get a root window :0 with nothing. I was expecting a GDM login screen from the remote machine.
I can run though things like xterms and from thsoe run the Gimp from the remote machine. Works very well and is not slow. I just have to work out how to run a Gnome session so the users on the Windows machine locally can see the Gnome menus on the remote machine.
