Firstly,  I will assume your X11 package is correctly setup, and u can run
"starx" script in your fedora box.

I think, if that X-Win32 has ssh service, you must tick on "X-window enable
tunneling" option.

I simply use secure ssh client  and X-Win 32 from winxp in university lab to
my slackware 9.1 box at home.

They work very well.

Once I logged in, I use following commands:

setenv DISPLAY myuniversity.host:0,0  <--- in sun OS or general unix

or

export DISPLAY="myuniversity.host:0"  <--- in general linux

and

startx   <--- u can do this strightly, but if u want, this "startx script"
must be set properly due to security problem

or xterm & <-- this application is safe

or Eterm & <-- this pretty much safe

or soffice & <--- or any applications I might need


And that;s it, happy slakin the fedora box
