Public bug reported: Binary package hint: emacs23
Emacs 23 and later have the neat feature of running as a daemon for emacsclient to connect to. Furthermore, emacsclient will automatically start a new daemon and then connect to it if one is not already running in the background, if you set the alternative editor to the empty string. That is, if you run emacsclient -a "" -c, emacsclient will either connect to an existing daemon or start a new one and connect to it. It starts the new one by running "emacs --daemon". However, when I do emacsclient.emacs23 -a "" -c, instead of running "emacs --daemon", it should run "emacs23 --daemon". This makes a difference for the purposes of window matching in programs like Docky.
