The question is how to determine the display for which emacsclient is
invoked. It is possible to create a hidden frame by e.g. calling
`server-select-display', but it is necessary to know display.

Personally, I have a shell script that works for me, but I would not
recommend it to others. It adds emacsclient option to create an x frame
if there is no it yet.
This particular question originates from an emacs-orgmode thread. It was
explicitly asked that emacs should not pop up hiding currently active
maximized window of another application (or emacs should disappear
without additional user action, in this case its behavior should be
similar to a notification window). Another participant insisted on using
xsel utility and a temporary file (in a way that is not safe) because
getting X selection from emacs does not work. I started current thread
because Ihor Radchenko asked if `org-get-x-clipboard' could be improved
and I realized that my recipe (getenv "DISPLAY") may work incorrectly in
some cases.
