Okay! It works exactly how you'd expect it to, with a little
non-intuitive set-up. Here are some sites that were useful:

 http://xfree86.cygwin.com/screenshots/
  -- They had the correct command line for cygwin. It's down towards
     the bottom. I think the -from part is important. It has some
     screenshots, too, so you know what to expect when it works.
 
 http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
  -- The howto, which is kind of confusing, for me anyway.

 http://linux-sxs.org/remotexkdm.html
  -- This too.
