It's fine, it's the same.
You can see what processes have the DISPLAY variable set by this;
$ for file in /proc/[0-9]*; do grep -ao 'DISPLAY=[^[:cntrl:]]*' $file/environ 2>/dev/null && grep -ao '(.*)' $file/stat; done | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/' > DISPLAY.log 2>&1
Please show this DISPLAY.log.
Wow, impressive incantation! Here you go....

More than 30 years is a long time. I started with emacs ported to OS/2 (I think it was named mule) .

No, I just thought it was rare for people to specify Emacs as the EDITOR environment variable.
Ha Ha, yes we are a rare breed indeed! I well remember the Emacs v.s. Vi wars! Marc...
