Hi Chen,
I followed instructions on this page and it seems to be working:
One thing I think is worth mentioning is that in Putty-connection-SSH-X11,
I put localhost:0.0 instead of 10.0, as for putty itself, it is requesting from
Xming for the use of display 0.0.
For COOT, it seems that I have to set Xlaunch in “one window” mode or
simply run Xming.exe. But still there is some issue with refreshing the screen
when choosing menu items.
My systems are CentOS 6.6 and Windows 7/Putty0.60/Xming6.9.0.31.

windows client?
Thank you Dale, but when I added " localhost:10.0" to X display
location, the problem still exist, just without the phrase "localhost:10.0" in
the warning. My X11 forwarding is enabled all the time and all other GUIs work
just fine.
And thank you for your clarification on the concept of
server and client "in the X11 word". It makes a lot of sense and I just didn't
give it a second thought!
Best,
Chen
