Are you permanently connected to a network? If so do you have the
proper entries in /etc/hosts? Something along the lines of:
this.machines.ip.address thishost.domain thishost loghost
127.0.0.1 localhost
If you're not permanently connected to a network your /etc/hosts file
should look like:
127.0.0.1 thishost thishost.domain localhost
Some other things to do to try and find the problem:
1) Try invoking it like:
xemacs -display :0.0
(Note: no host name)
2) Use strace to see where xemacs is hanging. Invoke like:
strace xemacs -display mymachine:0.0
Be prepared for lots of output!
Of course it may not be hanging, but displaying on whatever IP it is
associated with "mymachine".
