My guess is that you did not, and so the second serve= r > either gets the correct authentication and thus can connect. If you mean kill emacs and restart it, I could certainly do that (it will w= ork, from past experience) but it defeats the purpose from my point of view= . I'd like emacs to be able to create a frame on any display I ask it to, n= o matter the relative age of the emacs session and the remote display. If y= ou mean (server-start), that is easy to do, but my understanding is that it= has nothing to do with remote displays. Indeed, if I do emacs -Q (i.e., st= arting no servers) I am able to do that make-frame-on-display without troub= le (for an emacs newer than the display) > To really see what is going on you would need to debug Emacs with gdb > when the make-frame-on-display fails. While that is fine, as a somewhat experienced programmer and noob with Emac= s internals, I am very surprised there isn't a higher-level way to debug th= is sort of problem in emacs-lisp. It isn't something I have the time to fig= ure up right now at any rate. Cheers, Jason
