x11 tunelling with putty to Xming Server on Windows machine

Dear List,


I am trying to connect with Emacs (and ESS) via ssh to a remote machine but 
could not establish x11 tunelling. I managed to install and configure Putty so 
that I can use plink to establish the connection by running:

M-x ssh RET <hostname> RET <password> RET

In my .emacs file I added:

(require 'ssh)
(setq ssh-program "plink")

I run a Xming Server on the Windows machine and installed ssh.el. I would now 
like to tunnel x11 Windows over the ssh connection. How would I set this up? I 
probably just need to add -X to the plink command but do not know how and where?

I suceeded to tunnel x11 when I run plink from the Windows prompt, so I think 
everything else is set up correctly.


Thanks a lot
Jannis
