Mostly that it doesn't work when doing slightly unusual, but sensible
things: say I start an emacs on display alice:0 as user matthew@bob;
later I log into bob from display charlie with X forwarding enabled,
and want to connect using emacsclient to the emacs I started on
display alice:0; this Just Doesn't Work(TM). Also, if I start an emacs
on tty1 (for example), and then want an emacsclient window on my X
session on the same display, that doesn't work either.
