FWIW, it may be a lot quicker--since you're just trying to run
mythtv-setup--to just download a live DVD (like
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ), then boot it up, start a
terminal, then:
ssh -l mythtv -Y backendserver
The problems you're having are due to the complexity of making an X
server work on Windows. Since mythtv-setup is generally a "once and
done" thing, you shouldn't need to keep going back to mythtv-setup, so
it may make a lot more sense to try the easy way--even if it requires
booting from a live DVD.
