Platform, editor, terminal emulator, specifics?

I have been on Ubuntu, coming over ssh, running "screen" as the terminal enumlator, displaying on Gnome terminal, and my editor is "emacsclient -c" to an instance of Emacs in the screen session. I primarily run a version that is a bit ahead of 'next' (unless it is very close to the feature release, in which case I tend to run 'master') and haven't noticed anything new that is strange.
