Subject: Re: bug#19175: 24.4; make-frame-on-display fails if emacs started with -nw

I checked and can confirm that while

emacs -Q           # starts a graphical Emacs
M-x make-frame-on-display RET remote.host:0 RET

works fine, the same thing fails as described from `emacs -Q -nw'.

However, I cannot find any version of Emacs in which the latter does work.
It fails in all the 24 and 22 series.
(23.x infloops when started with -nw, due to some glib incompatibility
IIRC, and I can't be bothered to recompile it now.)
