A separate problem that I see is that when I'm starting

running ssh to connect to another system with X forwarding
through the
ssh connection. My DISPLAY is set properly. The Octave GUI
and Plot
windows open correctly. Executing
system ("emacs", false, "async")
opens a new Emacs window. But
system ("x-terminal-emulator", false, "async")
does not. Weird.
You can
try to set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and see if you get some
error messages.
On
un-related note, there is no "x-terminal-emulator" on
Fedora/Redhat systems.
I believe Fedora implements "alternatives" rather than Debian
"update-alternatives". Maybe you could check whether something like
it exists, but under another name.
