Imho "ratpoison" wm is best solution with Emacs with multiple frames (no
KDE&stuff, Emacs look&feel) [ http://ratpoison.sourceforge.net/ ].

I post my (temporary) solution on alt.pl.comp.os.linux.newbie few weeks
ago, I think it's better solution than yours. First message [1] (below) is
my .emacs file. See fragment with `ssb-make-select-key' macro:

    ((CREATE-SELECT-KEYS (&rest lst)
       `(progn ,@(mapcar (lambda (x) `(ssb-make-select-key , at x)) lst))))

    `ssb-make-selct-key' macro - it do the job.

    funny "library" (stupid and hairy (stupidness and hairness was
    intended) dll) required by `ssb-make-select-key' macro.

Iteresting. I must try it.
