Did more or less what you have described to run evolution mail client on
a remote win desktop. Works if you go through all settings of PuTTY
properly, especially those that deal with X forwarding.
Maybe since I was on remote location the speed of display rendering was
a big problem. End of the day I found much easier (and lot faster!!) to
just use PuTTY and mutt for reading mail.
Let us get feed back on how this progresses.
