I think you said you're using PuTTY, so start off with whatever 
documentation that provides: I'm fairly sure that it integrates with 
some (but probably not all) versions of Xming.

The issue apparently is that the author of Xming realised that he'd done 
a good job, and tried to go commercial. The result is that almost 
everybody settled on using the last "free" version, and that will almost 
certainly be reflected in what PuTTY works with.

If you had Xming working you'd probably find that it has Xnest, but I'd 
not suggest using that since it wouldn't solve your c&p problems and if 
the connection went down you'd lose work.

Alternatively, if you have an OpenSSH client on a Linux desktop system 
operation should be seamless, but I'm not going into that unless you 
indicate that it's something you're specifically prepared to explore and 
even then the linux-other (or possibly fpc-other) list might be a better 
place.
