How to use Cygwin to access X windows

Hi,
I use WinMe, want to access, remotely, X-windows of my FreeBSD6.2 machine using the Cigwin from my windows machine as a normal user.

However, I can login (through ssh and Telnet) to my FeeBSD machine as root and/or 'su' from some users grouped to the 'wheel' group.

I'm still new to server administration stuffs.
May I expect an step by step method for this or a pointer (url) to the same?

Thanks in advance.

XUnmapWindow(3X11)						     MIT X11R4							XUnmapWindow(3X11)

Name
       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

Syntax
       XUnmapWindow(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

       XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

Description
       The function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an event.  If the specified window is already unmapped, has no
       effect.	Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be visible until another
       map call is made on the parent.	In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping
       a window will generate events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.

       can generate a error.

       The function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to generate an event
       on each subwindow and events on formerly obscured windows.  Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping multiple windows one
       at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
