Subject: Emacs crashed trying to connect to X display

I usually run Emacs inside GNOME, but today I'm ssh'ed into the box, running
Emacs in an ssh terminal window.

I ran "svn ci" to commit a bunch of changes to subversion, and Emacs
crashed, leaving the terminal looking like this:


chris@trpaslik:~/project$ svn ci
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified Bot (1164,0)   (Shell:run)----Sat Sep  8 17:19
0.14-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(emacs:30371): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
                                                        chris@trpaslik:~$

I have the 'EDITOR' environment variable set to point to a shell script
which does:

/usr/local/bin/emacsclient "$@" ||
/usr/local/bin/emacs       "$@"

and I also have "DISPLAY=:0.0" in the environment (which I probably
shouldn't).

But when I run "emacs" in the ssh session, it runs the console version of
Emacs, which is what I was expecting from the emacsclient program as well.
If it can't connect to an X server, it just crashes Emacs - that can't be
the desired behaviour, can it?

Chris.
