Thanks, Pascal.  It's a really cool idea and works quite well for me --
I just had to change the setf's appropriately (are you using the CL
package?)

This doesn't seem to work for me (after adding the remote host to the
command line).  I think the ssh process disconnects before the
frame-server has a chance to pick up the connection.

So I do something like this from my local shell:

$ ssh -X $remotehost
$ echo $DISPLAY | tee -a ~/frame-emacs

which is OK.  However, after closing the frame with `C-x 5 0', I cannot
exit the interactive ssh session cleanly with C-d -- it needs prodding
with C-c.  Maybe Emacs isn't closing the X connection properly?
