We use Exceed, which works well, but costs.

I'm not sure whether there is a decent freeware alternative, but no doubt someone will know.

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

I use RealVNC.

VNC is far more efficient than X across long distances or low bandwidth connections.

another alternative is ReflectionX, not sure if it is more expensive than others, our hp consultants use it

Cygwin is free and works pretty well as well. I have used Exceed, Reflection X, and Cygwin. I prefer Reflection X, but if cost is factor Cygwin is the way to go.

I rarely use X Windows (I'm a PuTTY nut), but when I can't do something without it, I use Exceed. It's easy to use.

Recently I've been pushing X to my Windows PC through VMWare. I have various flavors of Unix/Linux that I start up in VMWare Workstation and I just set my display to one of those. It might not work for you (you don't get a lot of that nice copy and paste functionality), but I thought I'd throw it out there as a kinda-option.
