The machine I want to 'ssh -Y -l gene shop' is running ubuntu 10.4 LTS on 
an Athlon xp1400 that is running at 1600 on that motherboard.

'emc' is emc-2.4.6, best explained by looking at the emc wiki, at
<http://wiki.linuxcnc.org>

Hand made, I've probably made 4 or 5 hundred of them over the years as the 
CE of a TV station.  But this has little to do with why I can't ssh -Y into 
that machine from this one, and start emc so I can write code and cut 
imaginary air, seeing the results on my screen from the exported X session.  
The ssh session itself works flawlessly, but starting an app that needs an 
X display fails.
