> With Emacs 24.2, the following works fine for me:
> 
> ## Without X running
> emacs -Q --daemon
> startx &
> ## Back in the tty
> emacsclient -t
> ## In Emacs
> (make-frame-on-display ":0.0")

That's good, but I suspect those conditions are different than the ones I am in. In particular, I am using GDM (and I haven't had to do startx manually for 10 years, I'd guess).

Cheers,
Jason
