Subject: bug#12125: emacsclient should work like "emacsclient -t" when $DISPLAY is not set
Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:40:21 -0400

When connecting to a host which runs "emacs --daemon"  with "ssh -x" (so $DISPLAY is not set)


$ emacsclient FILENAME 

says "Waiting for Emacs..." and does not open any frame.

It should instead work like "emacsclient -t FILENAME" and open a
terminal frame.
