You have by chance logged in as one user, su()d to another and try to
start xemacs as that other user?
Putting "xhost +localhost" in your .xsession might be what you want,
but only do that on a single-user machine, since it will allow anyone
who is logged into your machine to start X clients on your display.
(that could be nasty things like kbd-sniffers)
