"grep X11DisplayOffset /etc/ssh/ssh_config" returns nothing. I'm guessing that 10 is the default and that I already had 3 ssh sessions open to this box before the one where I tested this. I'm assuming that things like xterm and xclock would also not work if this was wrong. "emacs -q" doesn't fix the problem. My installations of ssh, X, and emacs are completely stock. I haven't touched the config files.
