An alternative approach would be use VNC (tight VNC + sshvnc startup
probably being the best choice) and then run eamcs remotely in the big
VNC window.

Then there is no need for any local terminals at all, and also
an easy way to overcome the problem of starting dbus on the
remote machine if the emacs version on the remote machine
is built for GNOME thus needs dbus running on its own host.
