The reported problem is related to the fact that org-x11idle-exists-p
value is calculated at load time.

emacsclient --eval '(server-select-display (getenv "DISPLAY"))' may or
may not help depending on when (require 'org) is being executed.

The problem you are talking about is when no Emacs frames are present.
It is a problem that require different solution.
