You can't run Xsun.  You can run a window manager / session manager on
the Sun which manages the X display on the PC.  I've never done this
with CDE + Exceed, but I have done this with KDE, GNOME + Cygwin.  With
Cygwin on the PC, run xinit.  That will give you a display which can be
managed by the Sun.  On the PC, use xhost +<sun-address> or xauth to
allow X clients to access your PC's X server.  Telnet/ssh to the Sun,
use the DISPLAY=<pc-address>:0.0 env var to use the display on the PC,
then run "kdestart" or "gnome-session" or whatever is used to start a
CDE session.  For example, this command: "DISPLAY=192.168.0.10:0.0
kdestart"
