I use LTSP to run a diskless Linux workstation. I'm running two Windows 
programs on top of it regularly (two dictionaries). And they work exactly the 
same as they work on the main machine. I have also tried some other programs 
too, and never seen any difference beetween the local and the remote machine 
(wrt this).

So it works pretty good. I dont know for what the above cygwin and double ssh 
is needed. I dont need it :)
