Hi: In the past, I've had to administer various machines with NFS mounted homedirs, and from time to time when su'ing I've been bitten by the factthat altough DISPLAY was set, emacs couldn't read my .Xauthority file (as it was on NHS). I've had a look at the code, and figure oud what's going on, (I think), and put together this patch to make emacs proceed as if -nw had been supplied if DISPLAY is unreachable for some reason.
Hmm, I prefer the old behaviour. I often set DISPLAY to a remote machine but forget to fix .Xauthority. I don't want -nw to happen then, I just want Emacs to tell me it can not connect to that display.
