Of course I'm wrong, that seeing hildon-desktop on another machine = we can run other things from that desktop = task accomplished (kinda)? Sorry, I'm quite lost in this whole X thing.

Yet, results with ED sounds very promising. freemangordon and sulu, some noob-friendly steps to retry it on my own (let it be normal linux distro, or X Cygwin under windoze, whatever)?

There should be no difference whether you are using Cygwin under windoze or some linux distro, in general you need to:

1. start X server
2. add n900 as trusted host for that X server (xhost ip_of_n900)
3. on n900 in xterm or via ssh:
debian
su user
export DISPLAY=ip_of_Xserver:N.0
lxsession&

where N is most probably 0 if using Cygwin and most probably 1 if using linux distro (I am assuming that a second X server should be started under linux)

that is it.
