seems that when you start emacs, you're always starting it in server
mode.

you should start emacs in your xinitrc like following:

emacs --daemon

then, your environment variables could be:

ALTERNATE_EDITOR="emacs" #a new instance of emacs
EDITOR="emacsclient -t" # text-mode client, connects to running daemon
VISUAL="emacsclient -c" # x11 gtk client, connects to running daemon
