I'm not sure, either.

I usually use (toggle-menu-bar-mode-from-frame). In this case, I simply
didn't think of turning on the menu, or of using it.

I tried that. When you run (info) again, you're back at the same help
page. 'q' does not actually quit such buffers.

Sure, and it may not be irrelevant. Visiting a file is different from
not visiting one.

I guess it is two variants of the same case: using the terminal in one
and an X frame in the other variant. It would be the same case because
in any case, I'm trying to use emacsclient with a remote Emacs server.

I tried both. Without the -d option, emacs and emacsclient both seem to
ignore the DISPLAY variable, and only with -d, they try to use the
display they should use.

That's because I want to use emacsclient with a remote Emacs server and
because I would have to log in to run emacsclient on the server. I
wouldn't be able to use Emacs in an X frame, either, unless I'd switch
the monitor over to the server and run an X server there. If I wanted
to do that, I'd need to put a dedicated graphics card into the server to
get a decent picture, and I don't want to do that because then the
server would consume more electricity (about 1.5 times as much). I also
would have to use a keyboard that is connected to the server and end up
with two keyboards on my desk, which doesn't fit very well.
Why would I want to run the emacsclient on the same machine as the Emacs
server? I tried that, and the only advantage was that I could use it to
visit files in an already running Emacs session from the command line.
Other than that, there were no advantages but disadvantages.
