Re: processes starting in background

Perhaps you don't have your DISPLAY variable set up correctly and the server doesn't
know where to send its output? Check the IP of the Linux client and see if its DISPLAY
variable is set up correctly (i.e. to point to the Linux box's IP address):

echo $DISPLAY

The method/shell that you used to open a tunnel to your server has to tell the server
where to send its output, if that isn't correct, you won't see anything. Also, I'm not
sure if you can run Windows command like Notepad on a remote client. Do you see you
Bash shell and can process commands in it like "ls"? You may have to tunnel through
using VNC then run your Windows commands that way.
