I'm not sure if you got a reply to this on emacs-help (as I don't read
that list), but I thought I'd share my experience anyway.

Did you try make-frame-on-display? Did it work? Do you want emacs to
automatically try making a frame on a display if the display dies?
FWIW, I start emacs --daemon with daemontools when I log in, and then
get my X frame via "emacsclient -c". Even after restarting X, I can
still get my same session back. The key is to either start emacs with
"emacs --daemon", or to start a "-nw" session in your screen session.
Then do a M-x server-start and connect to that emacs with emacsclient.
Also, you don't really need screen for this. You can start an "emacs
--daemon" and then connect to that emacs session from the console with
"emacsclient -t". emacs can do its own session management now, which
will even save you in the rare event that screen crashes.
(All this is contingent on having emacs23, of course.)
