* xdisp.c (pos_visible_p, redisplay_internal, message3_nolog)

(message2_nolog): Check FRAME_INITIAL_P instead of noninteractively.

* emacs.c (is_daemon): Remove.
(main): Don't set is_daemon.
(IS_DAEMON): New macro.
(Fdaemonp, Fdaemon_initialized): Use it.
(Fdaemon_initialized): Wrtie a char into the pipe to make sure the
parent exits.
(syms_of_emacs): Explicitly initialize daemon_pipe[1].

+	 - close the tty file-descriptors
+
+	 We only want to do the last 2 steps once the daemon is ready to

+	 running as daemon) and with the proper "session id" in order for
+	 them to keep working after detaching, so fork and setsid need to be
+	 performed before initialization.
+
 	 We want to avoid exiting before the server socket is ready, so
 	 use a pipe for synchronization.  The parent waits for the child
 	 to close its end of the pipe (using `daemon-initialized')
