This seems to be on the right track. When I open a frame with % ssh -f
gly 'emacsclient -nc', I get the DISPLAY error. However, if I leave the
emacs frame and open a local terminal and ssh to gly, then go back to
the emacs frame, X11 forwarding works. I've checked the environment
before and after the second ssh and there are no changes. On the other
hand, ~/.Xauthority on gly does change.
If think I have to get % ssh -f gly 'emacsclient -nc' to exchange a
magic cookie. I'm guessing the answer is in the xauth man page.
