In testing the start-up of ez's alternate editor, I set a bogus DISPLAY
variable value. (If I unset the DISPLAY variable, ez uses too much
cleverness and finds the display some other way.)
Emacs prints the error: "X server not responding. Check your DISPLAY
environment variable."
Should it, instead, start emacs up -nw?
