Do not use the launcher to start a unix program. Use the launcher only to start the X11 server on your Windows PC. Then ssh to your server using Putty, and launch the GUI software from the command line. Xclock or Xlogo is a good lightweight GUI program you can test with. This will allow you to see any error messages that your program may throw, so that you can troubleshoot.
Xlaunch can create Windows shortcuts, so that you don't have to manually ssh in and start a program, but you have to get it working first, or you won't know where the problem is.
We don't have any Solaris here, it's all HP-UX and RHEL. That shouldn't matter though, since we're talking about standardized networking protocols, X11 and ssh, and should work identically on any unix-like system.
