Same here between two F14 systems.  In addition I get a comentary about
a losing g_spawn_sync() usage and about GConf being unhappy with the
world.  I wonder if the latter is the connection refused cause.  Remote
GConf might think you are running locally and tries unsucessfully to
contact the AF_INET socket for the main GConf server (which isn't
tunneled).

    $ emacs 
    connect : Connection refused
    connect : Connection refused
    connect : Connection refused
    connect : Connection refused
    connect : Connection refused

    (emacs:2130): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.
    GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Abnormal program termination spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=37c24c977a35208a6ae687ae4ade7c4e --binary-syntax --close-stderr': )
    connect : Connection refused
