I used to do that, but realized that (in my case) it complicated the 
buffer-switching – often had to go through a long list of buffers or many 
partial-name-matches before finding the right one.

Thank you for the warning. Yes I fear that. I'll check what happens next time I 
invoke such a program.

Incidentally, I saw hat in the folder where Emacs (28.1 in my case) gets compiled, it 
creates an "emacsclient.desktop" file with the following quite complex call:

sh -c "if [ -n \\"\\$*\\" ]; then exec emacsclient --alternate-editor= 
--display=\\"\\$DISPLAY\\" \\"\\$@\\"; else exec emacsclient --alternate-editor= --create-frame; 
fi" placeholder %F

I suppose it's written this way to take care of different displays.

I'll report later on how things are going with this setup, if anyone is 
interested.

One last comment: I also found it useful to set "server-client-instructions" to 
'nil'.

Thank you again Eric!
