See the comment for an explanation about this revision.

  - we want to support to GUI
  - it's difficult to reuse GUI windows elegantly unless the server is started
    from the GUI itself
  - consider starting the emacs GUI when X initializes

;; Having difficulty starting the server using systemd or calling
;; `emacs --daemon' in ~/.profile, ~/.xsessionrc, and similar files.
;; systemd has issues syncing the socket-name, so it becomes messy. I also
;; experienced strange initialization where things like wpc-org and other
;; modules wouldn't get loaded.
;;
;; Even if I resolved the socket-name resolution issue, I couldn't find an
;; elegant way to reuse GUI frames. GUIs for me have the advantage of supporting
;; True Color, support additional keys for KBDs (i.e. super), and aren't limited
;; by the terminal for rendering certain things.
;;
;; For these reasons, it seems preferable to start the server from here. I'm
;; considering starting emacs in my ~/.xsessionrc so that the server will be
;; running after X initializes.
