The remaining steps of the wizard offer poorly explained options. Our testers found the description too short to properly create the file. Xlaunch's Help screen includes a short description of a configuration file. Choosing to load Xming with a client running on the desktop also has problems. There is no Help file or prompts for using the X server desktop. The default is to merely open the desktop, but that option leaves less-experienced users in the dark on how to use Xming. Xlaunch then offers options to start Xming as a plain desktop or to open with a client running on the X desktop. Selecting Xming's display settings is a mere matter of clicking a radio button to choose one of four options.
Xlaunch uses a fairly straightforward wizard approach to open programs on the X desktop. The best method to start the apps is with Xlaunch, a program included with this package. Xming launches the X Windows Server then waits for applications to be added to the X desktop. The publisher includes precious little help with this software, and only slightly more online. If you don't know how to launch and run applications under X, and if Putty and SSH are programs you have never used, then stay away from Xming until you have more experience. Xming's interface is merely an X Window Server, and it's for experts only. This X Window Server works, but it fails to include needed files and a Help file.
