Sure it is. The problem is that the latest changes caused emacsclient to open a tty frame even with `-c' and a valid DISPLAY in the environment. > Maybe emacsclient now just needs a -D option for "use X11 display > found in DISPLAY env var" ? So you can do "emacsclient -D -c", say. emacsclient -D -c emacsclient: invalid option -- D emacsclient only knows about -d, which _requires_ an argument of the form HOST:SERVER or HOST:SERVER.SCREEN. > or is firefox cleaning the env of its children?
