I think this is done via the DISPLAY environment variable in the
shell where you launch GNU Emacs as daemon. Without $DISPLAY set GNU
Emacs assumes that it will run as the "client" of some terminal
emulation (inside of it). When it's set, then it's clear advise to
launch as an X client. I presume that X11 is running when you log in.
So DISPLAY is available and set.
