ok. so right now, the app just starts 'emacs'. so no mattet what, it makes
a new instance and always evals the init file, disregarding any existing
daemon or already running instance.
what im suggesting, is that it starts 'emacsclient', possibly with '-a ""',
so if there is an already running daemon, it connects to that instance, so
the initialization doesnt need to happen again.
does it make sense?
