I've not tried anything with XServer on windows. What we showed in the blog post is setting export DISPLAY=:0.0 to the Pre-Launch command in the project properties. Then when the gui app gets launched from our session it pops open on the remote Linux desktop.

Hmm, I guess I would use a terminal then. I do C++ programming a lot on linux clusters for science. Being able to launch X11 compiled applications remotely would be great. I currently do this using netbeans on windows.
Interesting, give it a try and let me know how it goes. I'd love to talk to you more about your workflow here. Very interesting.
I don't know, but perhaps you could ssh -X and echo "$DISPLAY", then try to export that value instead.
