To reproduce: 1. Run `emacs --daemon' on a system with a graphical display. 2. Login to the system using a terminal with no graphical display. You could do this by switching to another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 works on Ubuntu), or SSH in from another machine. 3. Run `emacsclient -c' or `emacsclient -t' in the terminal to connect to the running Emacs instance. 4. Inside Emacs, run M-x shell. 5. In the M-x shell buffer, run `emacsclient -c'. Ideal behavior: emacsclient creates a frame on the current terminal. Actual behavior: emacsclient creates a graphical frame in the environment in which it was launched, which is inaccessible from the terminal. Possible questions: Q : Why would you want to run emacsclient from within M-x shell? Why not just do whatever you want to do in the frame you already have open? A : Normally the user isn't launching emacsclient directly. Instead, a script might be launching emacsclient as part of a larger workflow. Q : Why not just launch emacsclient without the '-c' option? A : Without the -c flag, emacsclient works well to edit a file or series of files, but it doesn't support more complicated tasks. For example, a script might want to launch an ediff session, and wait until the ediff session exits. The easiest way to do this is to use `emacsclient -c' and wait for the connection to be closed.
