I think you're right.  Unfortunately , with "ssh -X host emacsclient
-c", you have to have a terminal open for each remote emacsclient.  I
was thinking/hoping it would be possible to do something like this.  In
stumpwm, you can do C-t !, to bring up a little dialog box to run
commands.  So, running C-t ! ssh -f remote-host emacsclient -nc results
in one windows opening, the remote emacsclient frame.  Anyway, I think I'll
stop obsessing now and just accept that it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for all your input,
