X Forwarding over VPN can be tricky as the DISPLAY can't always be set to
the client's IP. I've been using xauth to forge the forwarding cookie. The
best example I could find quickly is:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8916834/writing-bash-script-for-x-11-forwarding
That being said, I do prefer VNC or even RDP over X traffic via VPN.
As far as Cygwin/X, I used it to complete multiple interactive Oracle
installs and DBUA upgrades in the past year with zero issues. This included
a EM12c install (and 2-system migration, but that was all web, IIRC).
Hard to believe there's a bug I somehow managed to miss! YAY! :)
