23.0.50; [emacsclient] *ERROR*: Don't know how to create a frame on window system x

[Luca Capello <luca@pca.it>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hello!

Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list.

I get the output in the subject whenever I tried to use emacsclient
with something very simple like (the same trying to editing a file):

  $ emacsclient -e 'user-full-name'

This is very strange, because emacs is compiled without X support and
I anyway started it as `emacs -nw`.

I don't know exactly since when this happens, but at least it was
already present in the previous one-week-old package.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
