(1) try shell-command-switch as "-fc" rather than "-f -c"; it probably
    gets passed as one argument.

(2) make sure your .cshrc produces NO output when run non-interactively on
    a non-tty.  'rsh localhost cat /dev/null' is often a good test.

(3) Upgrade to XEmacs and compile with built-in x-face support :)
