Thank you for adding such option. I mentioned my script mostly to show 
that requirements of different users are not the same. Since I have a 
solution working for me, I considered the priority of my issue as rather 
low. Moreover the emacs-help mailing list may be more suitable to 
discuss it. Perhaps the new option solves it.

Currently I prefer to concentrate on the case of accessing X selection 
or getting DISPLAY without creation of visible frames.

P.S. My script notifies me that emacs server is not running, so it is 
unlikely that I will completely remove it. It is off-topic in this 
thread however.
