We have found Xming far easier to install and administer than Cygwin,
which always required an hour or more of staff time to install,
whereas Xming can be installed by the user in five minutes and
actually works. Try it - you'll like it.
We always require the user to tunnel the protocol. You can see our
instructions at:
http://www.nber.org/xming.html
but you probably don't want to copy the links (which go to our
server).
