Forwarding X Windows

Use VcXsrv instead of xming. This is fully functional and does not have copy/paste or resizing disabled. Install as normal.

c:\Program Files\VcXsrv\config.xlaunch

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="NoClient" LocalClient="False" Display="-1" LocalProgram="xcalc" RemoteProgram="xterm" RemotePassword="" PrivateKey="" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ClipboardPrimary="True" ExtraParams="" Wgl="True" DisableAC="False" XDMCPTerminate="False"/>

Set xlaunch shortcut to use config.

"c:\Program Files\VcXsrv\xlaunch.exe" -run config.xlaunch
