Presumably the one gtk2 emacs daemon mode now warns about.

-8<----------

address@hidden:~$ emacs --daemon

Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is 
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this 
problem.

If the problem is still present in gtk3, and a comment on the bug 
suggests it is - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715#c55 , 
I guess gtk3 emacs daemon mode should spit out a similar warning (if it 
doesn't already, I haven't got as far as trying a gtk3 emacs build yet).
