Perhaps I'm guilty of the sin of assuming everyone uses the system the
way I use it.  I can think of very few situations where I want to open
an Emacs frame, but I'd rather have it fail than open in a terminal.

In any case, I think Emacs without X support should behave the same as
Emacs in an X-less environment.  You know a priori that we're not
going to open a graphical frame.
