Help! Some megalomanic software has stolen the DISPLAY environmental variable so Emacs/Emacs client will not work.

Could please environmental variables specific to Emacs be changed to begin with EMACS_ ? For example change DISPLAY to EMACS_DISPLAY.

In my case I have

  DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

Emacs does not recognize that value. Should Emacs recognize it or should Emacs use its own variable, named like EMACS_DISPLAY?

FYI, the value of the environmental variable DISPLAY is used by Emacs/Emacs client in 23.0.50.1. Emacs does not recognize the value above.
