OK, it seems that the NS GUI stuff cannot be used in a child process
from fork():
http://developer.apple.com/ReleaseNotes/CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.html
(search for "fork"):

I put in a really ugly hack that calls execve() in the child after the
fork (which then means the daemonization has to be short-circuited the
second time), and this works in all respects except:
The emacsclient must be given "--socket-name /tmp/emacs503/server" to
find the server. Else it gives "No socket or alternate editor."
On the other hand, if I start emacs -Q and run 'server-start', this
argument is NOT needed, and furthermore if it IS given it, it fails
with "connect: Connection refused".
Any insight into what is happening here?
