Unfortunately , with "ssh -X host emacsclient -c", you have to have a terminal open for each remote emacsclient. I was thinking/hoping it would be possible to do something like this. In stumpwm, you can do C-t !, to bring up a little dialog box to run commands. So, running C-t ! ssh -f remote-host emacsclient -nc results in one windows opening, the remote emacsclient frame. Anyway, I think I'll stop obsessing now and just accept that it doesn't seem to work. Thanks for all your input, Joseph
