That's interesting. To answer your question, perhaps if you do
ldd `which emacs`
then you can see if it's linked against things like libX11.
I can't be sure that text-only ones wouldn't be, but I'd guess that they
mightn't. (-:
Does the ssh daemon on your desktop allow X forwarding? For instance, my
sshd has a config file with a X11Forwarding option that I have to set
to 'yes' for X forwarding to be permitted.
(Apologies for the Unix/Linux-centric view, if you're a Windows user.)
