> emacs: Ctrl-G Ctrl-G Ctrl-G Ctrl-X Ctrl-C

This actually doesn't work for me ..... because I deliberately disabled it as I was somehow typing it accidentally.
Now I use : alt-x k i l l - e m a c s enter
I haven't yet typed that by mistake.

My way of starting emacs is `emacsclient -c -d "$DISPLAY" --alternate-editor='' "$1"`

That has the same effect on how to kill the emacs process. Ctrl-X Ctrl-C just closes the frame.
