When using GTK, killing the X server will kill an Emacs daemon even if
all frames of it have been closed.
So here's a package inheriting from the default Emacs, taking out GTK
and passing its ./configure script the argument "--with-x-toolkit=no".
(If this isn't done explicitly and it can't find any toolkit, it will
complain.)
Note that this doesn't mean "no X", just no toolkit; this makes scroll
bars, tool bars, menus etc. ugly. (I think most seasoned users
disable those anyway.)
AFAIK Lucid AKA Athena AKA Xaw isn't much prettier than no toolkit
either but if someone knows of advantages of Xaw or another supported
toolkit over no toolkit, say so.
Also say if you have a better idea for the package name than
"emacs-no-x-toolkit".
