I use this exact technique almost every day to administer a Red Hat 7.3
box from a Win2K workstation.  BTW, I don't remember having to explicitly
enable X forwarding on the Red Hat machine, so I believe it should work
"out of the box" (but it's a long time since I set up that machine, so I
could be wrong on that).
