This was the first time I reported this bug.

I assumed that the reproducibility of the error was clearly known. To
avoid any other misunderstanding on that, I use StumpWM, uxterm and
emacs-snapshot-nox, which means emacs CVS compiled without X support.
So, in a uxterm:
$ emacs -Q
M-: (server-start)
Launch another uxterm and try to connect to the emacs server:
$ emacsclient -e 'user-full-name'
*ERROR*: Don't know how to create a frame on window system x
As Michael Mauger suggested, unsetting DISPLAY solved it:
$ DISPLAY= emacsclient -e 'user-full-name'
