I think this is done via the DISPLAY environment variable in the  
shell where you launch GNU Emacs as daemon. Without $DISPLAY set GNU  
Emacs assumes that it will run as the "client" of some terminal  
emulation (inside of it). When it's set, then it's clear advise to  
launch as an X client. I presume that X11 is running when you log in.  
So DISPLAY is available and set.
