Dear Debugging People--

With the following line in my .startup.X file, 

emacs -rv -display `/bin/hostname`:0.0 -geometry 80x64+200+0 &

emacs starts up with two buffers, one named "-display" and the other
named "w20-575-105:0.0" (the machine I am on).  It only happens on
this machine.  Something is not passing the switches to emacs
correctly.  Obviously this is not major, but is simply annoying.

PS.  Here is the entire .startup.X file, in case I'm doing something
which is causing this behavior.  ( I haven't tried killing the whole
file except for the emacs line...)

#!/bin/csh
#

# We must explicitly load the resource manager.
/usr/bin/X/xrdb ~/.Xresources

# Tailor the server settings
/usr/bin/X/xset c 70
/usr/bin/X/xset m 5 1 &

# Start up window manager, seek out and destroy the evil mwm
kill `ps augx | awk '$10=="mwm" {print $2}'`
/usr/bin/X/twm &

# Startup emacs 
emacs -rv -display `/bin/hostname`:0.0 -geometry 80x64+200+0 &

attach xpix
cd /mit/xpix/pictures
alias zroot 'zcat /mit/xpix/pictures/\!*.dmp.Z|/mit/xpix/bin${hosttype}/xroot'
zroot stars

# Create a login xterm
cd ~sauron
/usr/bin/X/xterm -rv -sl 300 -ls -geom 80x30+220+20 -T "login(`/bin/hostname`)" -n "login(`/bin/hostname`)"
