AFAICS Emacs only dies if there's no other connection open. I've
tested it with another client open on a tty, and Emacs survived.

The last thing it outputs is "Connection lost to X server `:0.0'", so
it passes through x_io_error_quitter, which in turn will call
x_connection_closed.

In x_connection_closed there are two tests for the last terminal,
where shut_down_emacs is called. Probably this should be modified for
the daemon case?
