Xming is an X11 server for Microsoft Windows. Putty is an SSH client. Two different softwares, with different purposes.
If you check the "Enable X11 forwarding" option in Putty, it will allow the remote UNIX server to display X11 GUI programs on your local PC, over the ssh tunnel.... but those X11 gui programs will need an X11 server to connect to; that's Xming.
FYI we use Putty and Xming to manage all our production UNIX and Linux servers at work, they are a nice combination and work very reliably.
Tip: When you start Xming, don't start it using the "Xming" shortcut. Instead, use the "Xlaunch" shortcut, and be sure to check the box for "No Access Control".

TrustedExtensionsPolicy(4) File Formats TrustedExtensionsPolicy(4)
NAME
TrustedExtensionsPolicy - configuration file for Trusted Extensions X Server Extension
SYNOPSIS
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xserver/TrustedExtensionsPolicy
/usr/openwin/server/etc/TrustedExtensionsPolicy
DESCRIPTION
TrustedExtensionsPolicy is the configuration file for Trusted Extensions X Server Extension (SUN_TSOL). SUN_TSOL provides security policy
enforcement. This enforcement is based on Mandatory Access Control (MAC) and Discretionary Access Control (DAC).
Blank lines and comments in the TrustedExtensionsPolicy file are ignored. Comments start with a pound sign (#). The format of the file is
as follows:
keyword{space|tab}value
where keyword can be one of the following:
atom Label this atom ADMIN_LOW, so that XGetAtomName(3X11) succeeds.
property Instantiate this property once. The default is to polyinstantiate a property.
selection Polyinstantiate this selection. The default is to instantiate the selection once.
extension Disable this extension.
privilege Implicitly allow this window privilege on all clients.
For possible keyword values, see the /usr/X11/lib/X11/xserver/TrustedExtensionsPolicy file for the Xorg X server. For Xsun, see the
/usr/openwin/server/etc/TrustedExtensionsPolicy file.
EXAMPLES
The following entry in the TrustedExtensionsPolicy file polyinstantiates the Dtpad program:
selection Dtpad
If the entry is missing, or commented out, the Dtpad program is instantiated once.
Similarly, the following entry instantiates the WM_ICON_SIZE property once:
property WM_ICON_SIZE
If the entry is missing, or commented out, the WM_ICON_SIZE property is polyinstantiated.
