GUI forwarding without desktop installed

Hi everyone

I'm installing a homeserver running debain without a desktop GUI as its not needed

The box is a low power all in one, which won't have a monitor

If I've not installed the desktop part, can I still ssh to the box and forward GUI applications with Xming when needed to a windows box?

Thanks
Chris

DMXDesktopAttributes(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   DMXDesktopAttributes(3)

NAME
DMXGetDesktopAttributes - determine global bounding box SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h> Bool DMXGetDesktopAttributes(Display *dpy, DMXDesktopAttributes *attr); DESCRIPTION
DMXGetDesktopAttributes() returns information about the desktop in DMXDesktopAttributes: typedef struct { unsigned int width; unsigned int height; int shiftX; int shiftY; } DMXDesktopAttributes; The size of the global bounding box is given in width, and height. The shiftX and shiftY values will always be 0. The global bounding box is computed whether or not Xinerama is active, but it is only useful when using Xinerama. The global bounding box used by Xdmx(1) may be larger than the Xinerama screen size because of information in the configuration file. RETURN VALUE
DMXGetDesktopAttributes() returns True unless there is a protocol error. SEE ALSO
