Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestion, and obviously the daemon 
cannot be started. Its the same with or without server running.

[haawda@frege src]$ ALTERNATE_EDITOR="" emacsclient ~/.emacs
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is 
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this 
problem.
