What I meant to say before I rudely interrupted myself: thereʼs an
effort to have emacs use 'pure' GTK that might solve this, although
the solution could end up at 'use Wayland', which as far as I know
doesnʼt have the equivalent of X display forwarding yet, so that still
wouldnʼt solve your issue (assuming youʼre doing ssh -X or similar).
