there is a space between --no-desktop and /

with your instructions and xming, I still get the following result:
from telnet window:
no xauth data; using fake authentication data for x11 fwding
cannot convert string from 'nil2' to type fontstruct
from x11 window:
could not parse argument --no

Below are the errors with xming upon your suggestion as I now have all the spaces and dashes in the right places.

Your dislpay number is 11, so you already have some other SSH session running with X11 forwarding.
Try to disconnect all unused sessions or use display number 11 in XLaunch...

What about eel_ blabla message it's an Ubuntu Keramic bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598918
but nautilus should work regardless of this.

Thanks nopius. Change made. Still no luck?
Ok.
Let's try this way
2. putty settings:
logging printable output
keyboard function keys xterm r6
ssh x11 forwarding
RESULT = doesn't work and errors:
typing nautilus returns, "could not parse arguments: cannot open display:"
from xlaunch in black window: "warning: no xauth data; using fake authentication for data for X11 forwarding; warning: cannot convert string "nil2" to type fontstruct"
Are you sure that you do have X11 forwarding enabled?
Try to Save your session in Putty, then load it again (select and load), then check SSH->X11 forwarding settings, If you don't see it, you didn't save your settings. Then set X11 forwarding, go to Session and press Save. Now you can open it.

I did save using putty and x11 forwarding is saved. Here is the resulting output from that session:

OK, I have to start the xserver first when using just putty. I see now. I did get a window but get similar dirty output:

Always start nautilus as

This is the sort of thing that led me to use the nx-server. Perhaps we could look into a way of running nx-server with a lightweight display environment rather than the gnome desktop it currently brings up; wouldn't that achieve our goal of reduced overhead while retaining functionality?

I think if I were going to do this from windows I would just create a linux virtual machine to do it from. Probably ubuntu. Seems to me putty and xming are not easy to set up. But I may dabble with the putty stuff if you don't have luck, Ted.

Not sure what you mean by that one. I made a doc on this Chuck. It's here:
