I see.
So the `emacs' server was run with XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.gdmES6K0T which only
contains keys to contact ":0.0", where the pseudo-display setup by ssh on
localhost:10 uses its own key, stored in ~/.Xauthority.
So the problem is that the `emacs' server can't find the appropriate key
because it's not looking at the right file.

Thanks.  I'll try and see what's going.
