A bit of confusion here I believe. You can download both unpatched 
prebuilt binaries and patched binaries from my site. I think Juanma 
wanted to ask whether you used an unpatched or a patched version.

As Juanma says there emacsclient that comes with the patched version has 
quite a few changes (to allow automatic startup of Emacs).

Do you start emacs server in your .emacs? If you use the unpatched 
version you must to that in addition to the command you use above. (The 
command you use starts Emacs, but you have to start emacs server too.)


With the patched version you can just do

    emacsclient "Tablet Buttons.txt"

Then emacs + emacs server will start automatically.
