Sure it is.  The problem is that the latest changes caused emacsclient
to open a tty frame even with `-c' and a valid DISPLAY in the
environment.

emacsclient -D -c
emacsclient: invalid option -- D

emacsclient only knows about -d, which _requires_ an argument of the
form HOST:SERVER or HOST:SERVER.SCREEN.

emacsclient was changes...
