OK I got it ... of course sshd must have a PATH that includes
/usr/X11R6/bin, and it didn't (tested with ssh -f someserver "echo \$PATH".
So I added a key named PATH in ..\Services\sshd\Parameters\Environment with
a string value that includes /usr/X11R6/bin, stopped and started sshd, and
Voila! almost success. I have to introduce a small pause like this:
ssh -X -f 10.10.2.131 "sleep 5; rxvt"
but who cares.
As an aside, should I want to be able to start win32 gui applications on the
remote end, what priviliges must sshd have?
Kind regards
Peter Ring

I just installed the cygwin1.dll snapshot from the 4. of Sep.
Can you also start an rxvt terminal like this
ssh -v -X -f someserver rxvt
While I can log in with ssh -X someserver and then start an rxvt on a local
X server (Cygwin/XFree, BTW), I can't use the -f option. I get:
