After a bit more testing, I discovered a snag.
I believe that the default behaviour when opening a file from a desktopĒs file manager should be to open it in an existing GUI frame if one exists, or a new GUI frame if one does not. Clicking Emacs in a desktopĒs application launcher should open a new GUI frame.
The trouble is that, if Emacs is running as a daemon with no frames, `emacsclient /path/to/foo` will create a new TTY frame rather than a GUI frame. Should this behaviour be changed so that a GUI frame is preferred if $DISPLAY is set? While weĒre here, should we report an error if there is no display and no TTY?
