Before switching to the CVS version of Emacs, when I explicitly set the name of a frame to "SOMETHING" then I had that that frame has its own window id of the group leader in WM_HINTS. I think that this behaviour has been fixed in the CVS version. But I miss the old "bug", since, together with WindowMaker, it let me do some neat organizazion/use of my virtual desktops (workspaces) and hide the "SOMETHING" frame withouth touching the other. Is there some way to set a frame as group leader in X11 with the CVS Emacs ?
Short answer: no. Longer answer:Actually Emacs does not set the group leader. It is done by the tool kits (Xt or GTK). The one set by the Xt WMShell still points to itself (which in fact is a bug), but GTK creates a leader window for this. If you compile Emacs without a tool kit (i.e. --with-x-toolkit=no) the group leader will not be set.
The fact that Windowmaker makes a distinction sounds strange, but a WM is free to do what it wants. I can't really deduce from your explanation what the difference is.
