No need to change the TERM type, X-ized emacs looks for a DISPLAY
environment variable, and puts it's window on that display, if no
DISPLAY variable is set, it will come up in your xterm as though
you weren't in X-windows, just alias you emacs command to unset the
DISPLAY variable (after saving to a temporary) and then invoke emacs, and
then reset the DISPLAY variable.  Simple.
