I had that setup for quite some time - starting one Emacs server on the console, and then several emacsclients as parts of tmux and stumpwm window configurations. But it crashed too often - and it was just too painful to recover all the emacsclients in all the window-configurations. So nowadays I have one (non-server) Emacs instance for doing the real work, and another server instance which I use for the convenience of getting emacsclients everywhere for some quick adhoc stuff, without caring much when it crashes. -- cheers, Thorsten
