Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Having started an Emacs session on <remote-host> (the machine that
generate this bug report), logging in via ssh and attempting to bring up
an Emacs frame using 'emacsclient -c' on the local display yields

,----
| *ERROR*: Display localhost:10.0 can't be opened
`----

From Emacs.

,----
| $ emacsclient -c
`----

immediately yields

,----
| X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
`----

This completely disables X11 forwarding FOR EMACSCLIENT ONLY.
Gnome-terminal still works.  Changing default xauth does not help.
Deleting ~/.Xauthority on localhost and remote-host does not affect the
problem.

Basically emacsclient doesn't work over ssh.  Bummer!

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I'm running GNOME on Fedora 12, so
XAUTHORITY=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-joel...

This seems to be GDM-related.  I will try to figure out how to configure
GDM for this.

When I ssh in 'echo $XAUTHORITY' returns empty (i.e. if I'm not sitting
at the desk with my main workstation I can't find XAUTHORITY).  If I can
run the commands you suggested, it works.


Good, we can close this.
