When?
Every time a GTK frame is created?
That would be very annoying.

After we've had a disconnect?  I don't think there's a way to detect
that situation reliably.

Having the warning issued when starting emacs --daemon has the advantage
that it's only done once per session.  Sure, it does not cover all cases
(you still run into trouble by doing emacs -nw -f server-start then
create a GTK frame), but it does cover the most frequent use-case.
