Hmm.. so the Xauth key in /tmp/.gdmES6K0T is also in ~/.Xauthority
(otherwise `emacs -Q' wouldn't have been able to open the display)?

What happens if you do

   host2> ssh host1
   host1> echo "$DISPLAY"

and then use this DISPLAY (presumably somehting like "localhost:10"): go to
your Emacs and type

   M-: (make-frame-on-display "localhost:10") RET
