I can not use emacsclient to open files unless I delete the 
environmental variable DISPLAY.

To reproduce the problem do

   emacs -Q
   M-x server-mode

Then from the command line try to open a file, for example

   emacsclient.exe COPYING

This fails with the message

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>emacsclient.exe COPYING
   Waiting for Emacs...
   *ERROR*: Don't know how to create a frame on window system x

I tried to remove "localhost" from the value, but that did not help:

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>set display
   DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>set display=:0.0

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>emacsclient.exe COPYING
   Waiting for Emacs...
   *ERROR*: Don't know how to create a frame on window system x

However deleting the environmental variable fixes the problem:

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>set display=

   C:\emacs\u\080104\emacs\bin>emacsclient.exe COPYING
   Waiting for Emacs...

PS: I do not know if DISPLAY is normally set on a w32 system (no other 
pc here to check with). The reason I have it might be due to that I am 
using a KVM switch.
