Dear Jon,
you can find the log at http://holt.oso.chalmers.se/hgs/4CYG/XWin.0.log
The X-window manager on the linux machine ? - not sure how to answer.
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?
Thanks for caring about my problem.
