You can use it at your own risk... It is only a problem when the X11
connection dies, or when you use xkill or the window manager to kill
emacs frames, if you use C-x 5 0 it should be fine.
IMVHO people that make heavy use of --daemon should stay away from Gtk+
(and try to lobby to the Gtk+ people to fix this bug).
I am closing this bug, there are a few other instances of this bug in
the database...
