I don't think think it is the window manager. Logging on via ssh does not 
start a full session, so no window manager would have been started on the 
remote machine. All he did was start a single emacs process on the remote 
machine and export the display back to the local machines X session, where 
the local window manager takes care of the window.

I suspect any visual differences are just due to different versions of emacs, 
or different emacs configurations.
