You can avoid cygwin with Xming:

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.

You need xdmcp turned on to get an X desktop over a remote connection as
I recall.
I haven't actually had a GDM screen running over it though from windows,
but it should be possible I guess.
