                Get x11 forwarding setup in windows (I'm using git-bash) (should be similar for cygwin) (do not use putty)
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    
Install Xming: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
Set your path variable: export PATH=$PATH:/c/Users/myself/AppData/Local/Xming/
[always?]: Run XLaunch and select the display setting you want to use
Export DISPLAY variable: export DISPLAY=localhost:0
ssh with the x11 forwarding enabled: ssh -XY me@myhost
Try it out: nautilus
