Interesting.  So the extra, unneccesary initialization code does not
hurt there.

I just tried adding my ~/.exwm into my init.el and running a nested
emacs and now I get a GUI dialog:

    Replace existing window manager? Y/N

Not great!  Not very suprisingly, the extra unnecessary initialization
/does/ hurt here.

I would very much like for this nested emacs issue to be addressed
first.

I just don't really see the point in mixing two bits of code that are
meant to run in different scenarios, and then disabling one of them.
