It seems like you didn't set your DISPLAY environment variable, so X
tries to open a window on the local machine (your server) while it
should forward the display to the remote machine (your desktop running
Cygwin).

The simple solution would be:
for tcsh shell:
setenv DISPLAY <your desktop IP or hostname>:0.0
for bash shell
export DISPLAY=<your desktop IP or hostname>:0.0

and don't forget to allow other hosts to connect to the Xserver on
your desktop, this can be done using:
xhost + (which allows anyone to connect btw)

Although this procedure works I find it not very comfortable. A way
better solution is to install FreeNX on your server and to connect to
it using a NX client which you can download from www.nomachine.com.
This will export your whole X screen to the windows PC.

best regards,

Allard
