When I log in via "ssh -X -Y -v <host>" to a remote host and do:

   $emacs --daemon

then the daemon seems to open an X11 connection:

   debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
   debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 55586
   debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
   debug1: confirm x11
   debug1: channel 1: FORCE input drain
   debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2
   debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
   debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 55587
   debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
   debug1: confirm x11
   debug1: channel 1: FORCE input drain
   debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2
   debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
   debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 55588
   debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
   debug1: confirm x11

When I then try to log out (with C-d), the connection hangs until I
press C-c, which kills the Emacs daemon. I think the daemon should not
open an X11 connection by itself, and thus survive in cases like this.
