I think what you really want is an X server on the WinXP machine. Then
you can ssh (or telnet, yuck) to the Linux server and Cygwin's xorg port
should run on WinXP and act as your display. This really doesn't have
anything to do with Xfce; in this case you'd run the Cygwin X server in
rootless mode and run no X WM or DE. X clients will just appear on the
WinXP machine in normal native windows.
