bug#18403: 24.4.50; emacsclient sometimes hangs on exit with Lucid GUI client

[Christoph]

The original issue of the hanging emacsclient with Lucid is fixed in trunk, bzr r117565. I am closing this bug.

Thank you.

One other thing I noticed: 

after quitting the GUI frame, Ctrl-C to break the "waiting" loop and reconnecting with a terminal emacsclient, the *Messages* buffer shows the following error:

server-delete-client: X protocol error: BadFont (invalid Font parameter) on protocol request 46

Not sure if that helps at all.

I cannot reproduce this new problem on Ubuntu 14.04, configuring trunk bzr 117843 --with-x-toolkit=lucid.
x_delete_terminal calls XtCloseDisplay, and then calls emacs_close (dpyinfo->connection), and
the 'close' returns 0.

Perhaps you configured with some other toolkit?  That might explain the discrepancy.

No, this is Lucid but with your revert patch applied.

Does it fix things for you if you add a line 'dpyinfo->connection = -1;' after the existing line
'dpyinfo->display = 0;' in xterm.c's x_connection_closed?  Though that might cause a file descriptor
leak; I'm not fully following what's going on here, since I can't reproduce the new problem.

No, because x_connection_closed is not called.

There is another example of a debugging session, clearly showing double-close problem:

;; 1) Run ./src/emacs -Q --daemon
;; 2) Run ./lib-src/emacsclient -c
;; 3) Attach gdb -p to daemon process
