Thank you for adding such option. I mentioned my script mostly to show that requirements of different users are not the same. Since I have a solution working for me, I considered the priority of my issue as rather low. Moreover the emacs-help mailing list may be more suitable to discuss it. Perhaps the new option solves it. Currently I prefer to concentrate on the case of accessing X selection or getting DISPLAY without creation of visible frames. P.S. My script notifies me that emacs server is not running, so it is unlikely that I will completely remove it. It is off-topic in this thread however.
