I installed PuTTy and enabled X11 forwarding on it.

I made the SSH connection to the remote Debian OS.

Using PuTTy SSH I installed Synaptic using the command "apt-get install
synaptic."

I installed Xming on my local Windows XP machine and it is running.

Using PuTTy SSH I executed the "synaptic" command on the remote Debian
OS and got the error:
(synaptic:11154): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display

I suspect this is due to my having not done something to connect
Synaptic to X11. I know X11 is installed because I can see its
directories and files when I execute "locate X11". I need help with
this. I do not know what to do next.

Try ssh -X.

This is a Linux shell command for locally displaying a remotely running
program's GUI. My local computer has a Windows XP OS and I need to make
an X11 connection with it to a remote Debian Lenny OS.

There's a leetle checkbox in the putty config dialog somewhere for X
forwarding. You need to have xauth, not (just) X11, on your server. (It is
part of the package of the same name in Debian)
