Is there a way to set up the Windows end of things to make connection, X
server startup, and host display export a one-click affair?  When I looked
at the MI/X doco (some years ago), they had this whole
telnet-in-set-variables-start-X drill.  I could certainly do that, but I'd
like something that's easier.

I've worked out a couple of W2K batch files, using a mixture of Windows
commands and Cygwin/Unix commands, that give me Windows desktop icons for
various hosts both locally and in the office (via MS-PPTP VPN).  Yeah, I'm
lazy.
