This one works already for emacsclient/emacsserver maybe gnuserv needs
to do the same thing as emacsserver...

As a user I would like this one.
A lot of times I do M-x locate to find a file and then press RET in
the *Locate* buffer to edit it. Later after killing both the locate
and the file buffer I need to edit the same file again. I would be
nice if it was available in the C-x C-f history. 
In the *Locate* buffer RET is bound to dired-advertised-find-file.
