None of those scripts (and I think I got my original script also from
documentation like this) is working as expected.  

When I use dtemacs to open a file (say /tmp/em)  I also get:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/js/.emacs':

as well as an additional 

Symbol's function definition is void: temp-directory

and the main window does not contain /tmp/em.

With other scripts from the wiki I can open emacs but gnuclient is
complaining:


23276 pts/6    R      0:00 /usr/bin/emacs a
gnuclient: Connection refused
gnuclient: unable to connect to local

and it then runs a new emacs process.

I have removed gnuserv from my system now.  I could not get it to work
as expected.

Johann
