This will not work unless the application is an X Windows program.
Native windows apps cannot be used remotely with ssh, because they are
not network-aware. This may be possible with remote desktop/terminal
server/etc, but it's outside the scope of Cygwin. All that ssh can do
is forward a stream of bytes across the connection. The application
must be designed to work in this manner, such as X11 apps. Ssh cannot
work miracles.
