Hey Folks,

Should I be able to run emacs and emacsclient on different displays?

i.e. start emacs on my linux machine in my office, set a server name
and start an emacs server.  Do work.  Then, come home, ssh into the
office, and run emacsclient and use the same buffers I was using at
work.   I'd like all of this to be in X windows, not in a TTY.

i.e.

host1 % echo DISPLAY
localhost:0.0
host1 % emacs...
eval: (setq server-name "test1")
eval: (start-server)
...

<later>

host1 % echo $DISPLAY
localhost:14.0
host1 % emacsclient -s test1 -c foo
Waiting for Emacs...X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
*ERROR*: Connection lost to X server `localhost:14.0'

However, if I run xterm at that same prompt, it comes up just fine.

Can anyone let me know if what I want to do here is possible, and what
I might be doing wrong?

Thanks Very Much,

Jim
