The problem is that I have not access to the GUI (maybe this was not
clear from the beginning).

The terminal frame is running inside a terminal under Screen.  When I
access it remotely, I have no access to the GUI.  I cannot suspend Emacs
because there is a graphical frame alive, and I cannot close it because
I do not know how, and the only way I can think of makes the terminal
frame unusable (which I suspect is a bug).
