Getting Windows GUI applications to work

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to execute Windows GUI applications through SSH but I'm
running into some problems.
 
Here's what happens on a Windows XP machine running OpenSSH for Windows:

 
1. I open a Remote Desktop session to the machine.
2. I also log into the machine via PuTTY.
3. After logging in, I run "calc" via PuTTY. I am immediately returned
to the prompt.
4. When I look at the Task Manager (through Remote Desktop), I see
calc.exe, but there is no window.
 
 
Here's what happens on a different Windows XP machine running sshd
through Cygwin:
 
1. I open a Remote Desktop session to the machine.
2. I also log into the machine via PuTTY.
3. After logging in, I run "calc" via PuTTY. I am not returned to the
prompt.
4. In the Remote Desktop window, I see the calculator window pop up.
5. I close the calculator window (through Remote Desktop), and I am
returned to the prompt in my PuTTY window.
 
 
Obviously, I want the latter behavior, but I want it to work with
OpenSSH for Windows. Does anyone know what I need to do?
