Alternatively, just use the built-in variable window-system i.e.
(unless (eq 'x window-system)
....)
or even better, use one of the display capability predicates, such as
(unless (display-graphic-p)
...)

Do you actually need the above? Long time since I've used emacs in a
non-graphics mode, but when I did, you didn't get things like tool-bar
unless the display could support it.
One of the reasons I no longer use emacs in console mode is because I do
almost everything on remote systems via tramp these days and very rarely
need to run a remote emacs.
