I'm not sure if I'm thinking of something completely different but do
you mean accessing an X11 application remotely from a Windows
computer?  I haven't had to for a while, but what I used to use is
Xming:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xming .  According to Wikipedia,
you now have to donate but older versions on sourceforge are still
free (not sure what that means...).  But their web site
(http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) seems to list these
public domain versions.
