Re: [h-e-w] gnuclientw is starting new instances of emacs.

[Richard M. Heiberger]

You need one more line in .emacs

(require 'gnuserv)
(gnuserv-start)
(setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))

You are probably not starting a separate instance of emacs.

You are starting a new frame within the same instance of emacs
(the equivalent of C-x 5 2).  The gnuserv-frame variable
tells emacs to continue to use the existing frame.
