but it wil do this automatically anyway if there is no X server found. Try
it, type emacs in a console. You don't need to include -nw and you don't
get any warnings/errors - it just works. I've only needed to use -nw when
doing things like starting emacs on a remote host and I don't want to run
the X version for bandwidth reasons. 

My bet is that its because of Xauth.
