Forget about this client/server terms, they're irrelevant here.


You can delete-frame the frames you don't want anymore.

But keeping an additionnal frame open is a security against accidental
exit on terminal disconnection.



You can use the following to see what display each frame is on:


(defmacro define-frame-parameter (name)
  `(defun ,(intern (format "frame-%s" name)) (&optional frame)
     (frame-parameter (or frame (selected-frame)) ',name)))

;; (dolist (p (frame-parameters)) (insert (format "(define-frame-parameter %s)\n" (car p))))

(define-frame-parameter parent-id)
(define-frame-parameter display)
(define-frame-parameter visibility)
(define-frame-parameter icon-name)
(define-frame-parameter outer-window-id)
(define-frame-parameter window-id)
(define-frame-parameter top)
(define-frame-parameter left)
(define-frame-parameter buffer-list)
(define-frame-parameter unsplittable)
(define-frame-parameter minibuffer)
(define-frame-parameter modeline)
(define-frame-parameter width)
(define-frame-parameter height)
(define-frame-parameter name)
(define-frame-parameter background-mode)
(define-frame-parameter display-type)
(define-frame-parameter horizontal-scroll-bars)
(define-frame-parameter scroll-bar-width)
(define-frame-parameter cursor-type)
(define-frame-parameter auto-lower)
(define-frame-parameter auto-raise)
(define-frame-parameter icon-type)
(define-frame-parameter wait-for-wm)
(define-frame-parameter title)
(define-frame-parameter buffer-predicate)
(define-frame-parameter tool-bar-lines)
(define-frame-parameter menu-bar-lines)
(define-frame-parameter scroll-bar-background)
(define-frame-parameter scroll-bar-foreground)
(define-frame-parameter right-fringe)
(define-frame-parameter left-fringe)
(define-frame-parameter line-spacing)
(define-frame-parameter screen-gamma)
(define-frame-parameter border-color)
(define-frame-parameter cursor-color)
(define-frame-parameter mouse-color)
(define-frame-parameter background-color)
(define-frame-parameter foreground-color)
(define-frame-parameter vertical-scroll-bars)
(define-frame-parameter internal-border-width)
(define-frame-parameter border-width)
(define-frame-parameter font)



(mapcar (lambda (frame) (list frame (frame-display frame)))
        (frame-list))
