I would say that even there it is not strictly correct to test 
`window-system', perhaps `x-display-list' is a bit better since 
particular frame may be a terminal one running in xterm, but user has x 
frames. In server.el I found

     (frame-parameter frame 'display)

that might be even better and should work with daemon having a single 
frame in xterm. I can not figure out if --display command line option 
affects some variable of Emacs daemon.

Another tricky case is multiple x connection to different displays. It 
seems GTK3 have some limitations (pgtk build) and such rarely used 
configuration will become completely obsolete.

I joined to this discussion presuming (by some confusion) that such 
variable should be lazily initialized on first call of 
`org-user-idle-seconds'. I considered `window-system' test as a way to 
distinguish GUI and text Emacs sessions. Actually such parameter is 
dynamic. Remotely running Emacs may be disconnected from one X server 
and connected to another session.

Actually `window-system' check has another role: skip command 
availability test on systems other than Linux.

What is the result of "command -v" on Windows? Should it be executed 
there at all (unconditionally at load time)?

P.S. There are a number of X11 servers for Windows. I am unsure if Emacs 
builds for Windows and X11 frames are supported. I am lost how to 
properly test such cases in the code.
