[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi, when using the old X11 GTK3 build of Emacs I was able to run emacs --daemon, then create new graphical Emacs frames with emacsclient -c.
Now-- with pgtk-- running emacsclient -cwill always create a console frame. With the DISPLAY environment variable defined, it also produces a warning about using the pgtk build on X11.
I think the logic for deciding whether or not to start a graphical or terminal frame needs to be revisited with Wayland/pgtk in mind.
Also Wayland systems will still often define DISPLAY, for compatibility with any legacy X11 apps that may need it. So checking for the existence of this env variable is not a sound strategy for deciding whether that warning about running on X11 should be emitted.
