Hi,
Some answers in line below. Note that the server was never tested
with Leopard and certainly not with a PPC mac.
You can help us debug the issue if you rm -rf /tmp/* and then turn on
debugging within the server. Within the "mac" server, search for the
global python var DEBUGLEVEL and set it to 10. Go through your usual
usage scenario and then send the contents of your /tmp directory to me
or Bart off list.

Yes; there's use of python2.6 and up specific modules; that's why the
interpreter "!" was set to python2.6.

"which emacs".
and
emacs --version (writing off memroy, so look up the proper flag in the
man pages).

Yes; I personally mute, but in Leopard, there's no easy way to do
this. (i.e. using the trackpad commanders, keyboard/numpad
commanders, etc).

cute.
Also, fwiw, from my own experience, emacs/emacspeak isn't for the
faint of heart. You *will* have to dig into the source at some point
to make things work. That's why the docs though helpful vary
drastically in quality and obsolescence.
