I log in using ssh -Y and start jobs from an xterm using command lines. I never use any GUI. uname -a says Linux holt 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux It greets me (ssh, xterm): Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Welcome to Linux Mint 13 Maya (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64) The problem only occurs with emacs (/usr/bin/emacs23-x --version says: GNU Emacs 23.3.1 ) Could it be that emacs creates a server / uses a port of its own? Do you need more information?
