The Motif frame looks better, but still not entirely normal: what's
that empty space to the right of the window?

Is that similar to what you see locally on the GNU/Linux box?

If "C-x C-c" works, then does "M-x redraw-display RET" redraw the
frame to its normal appearance?

What about "C-x 5 b RET" -- does it create a new frame, and does that
frame look correctly?
