I recently tried it.
You can save yourself some effortsof overcoming unnecessary limitations,
and run it as a local application, instead of an applet in a browser.
OTOH I saw on freshmeat something called LanLords (IIRC) that is basically
some settings of WeirdX together with MindTerm (which has now a more
restrictive license to its ssh version, BTW) to connect via SSH and run X
apps on a linux box via a browser. I haven't tried it.
BTW: The only other free X server for win32 is XFree, when compiled with
cygwin: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/ IIRC. Installation is not
exactly trivial, though (from what I heard. I haven't tried it yet)
