0) Start X session.

1) Switch to tty1 or any other console terminal and run
  
   $ emacs --daemon

   Emacs server loads (correct).

2) Make sure you can connect to it by running

   $ emacsclient -t

   This should work from both tty and X sessions (correct).

3) Switch to X session and run

   $ emacsclient -c

   This fails with message

   Waiting for Emacs...
   *ERROR*: Display :0.0 can't be opened

I think it would be really nice if Emacs could easily survive X crash.

I'm ready to provide any additional info,
Andrey
