23.0.60; restarting X causes emacsclient display bugs

[Tom Rauchenwald]

Hi,

I try running emacs inside screen, and open frames to it with emacsclient.
This works fine, until I need to restart the X server for whatever
reason. newly created X frames don't update properly when scrolling
(part of the text stays), the mode-line faces are not right
(background is black) and the modeline isn't cleared before it
updates, so after switching a few buffers only garbage is in it.

To reproduce:
1) start emacs in a detached screen
screen -dmS emacsserver emacs -nw -Q --eval '(setq server-name "foo")'
-f server-start
2) open an X frame
emacsclient -s foo -c -d :0
3) close the X frame and restart X
4) open an X frame (the first try always fails for me, so you may need
to do it twice
emacsclient -s foo -c -d :0 

This frame shows various redisplay problems, for example when browsing
through a buffer with C-n (here only half of the screen is updated,
but it seems to be connected to scoll-conservatively).
Note that tty frames (emacsclient -t) work fine. 

Can anyone reproduce this? What other information do you need?

Thanks,
Tom
