I'm posting this here since I expect it's a simple question and I don't want
  to bother many people with it.

In addition, if you have an answer PLEASE respond via e-mail since our news
  feed tends to only be up about 20% of the time lately.

I open an xterm to another machine via:

	rcmd kobayashi /usr/bin/X11/xterm -display `hostname`:0
		-title Kobayashi -n Kobayashi"

With loginShell resource set to true in my .Xdefaults.

I then type the following:

	105 kobayashi> emacs
	X server not responding.  Check your DISPLAY environment variable.
	106 kobayashi> env | grep DISPLAY
	DISPLAY=desktop:0.0

But emacs works fine when executed from local xterm windows.

In addition, I can open up other X applications from that other machine and
  they will appear on my local machine (desktop).

Does anyone know what emacs is expecting that I'm not providing it?  Or at
  least some clues as to where I should look?

It works fine with the "-nw" option, BTW.
