If you have a usable DISPLAY, then ssh X11 forwarding is working.
How are you doing the different ssh commands. If you don't have a
usable DISPLAY don't you have to run xemacs -nw?
My "usable DISPLAY" case is when I'm sitting in front of my work box, using
its X display. My "unusable DISPLAY" case is when I'm dialed up from home
over a modem connection and the system I'm on doesn't have an X display.
So, I generally leave an xemacs running on my work box with its gnuserv
running. Then, I can dial up from home (from a system that has no X display)
and do 'gnuclient foo' to connect to the xemacs running on my desktop at
work and have it use the tty from my ssh session. It's a really convenient
thing to be able to do.
