Currently, I have two machines: a remote box running redhat6.2 and a windows machine98 machine with ssh and exceed.

I use the windows machine to ssh into the linux box, and then forward X connections to exceed. This works just fine for xterms and emacs.

However, what I really want to do is have enlightenment/gnome running in a window on my windows machine.

Does anybody know if this is possible?

(I've tried running 'gnome-session' from an xterm window, but that just freezes all my X connections.)

Am I missing something?
 
I tryed the same thing (on mandrake though) when i connect to a friends server, i use putty_ssh and when i type in startx it starts to load and then crashes (not the computer, just what startx does)
