Huh?  It's not complicated at all.  It's one

(server-start)

in your .emacs file, and one

export EDITOR=emacsclient

in your .bashrc file.

I should have said that it's easy, but it doesn't work for me.

These are my settings:

$ echo $EDITOR

/usr/bin/emacsclient

$ cat .emacs | grep server

(server-start)

But every time I click on a note on Evince, a new window of Emacs pops up.

.profile should usually load .bashrc as well and be run on login.

Yes, .bashrc is updated, I can verify it in the terminal.

Evince simply keep opening emacs, even if $EDITOR is set to gvim (or whatever).
