MiX is a dated, old, and incomplete X Windows server. I'd strongly
suggest something newer.
Fortunately, XFree86 is now ported to Cygwin, and is part of the base
Cygwin install:
http://www.cygwin.com/
You'll love yourself for installing this.
If you want a detachable remote session, try VNC (I'd suggest TightVNC
on the Legacy MS Windows side, that's what your Debian VNC will be
anyway).
If you need additional X11 features, a commercial package such as
Hummingbird Exceed or WRQ Reflection X is recommended, though these tend
to run several US$100 per seat.
Peace.
