[resent from emacs-devel]

Hi!

This is the first patch I submit for Emacs, so I hope I followed all the
rules :-).  I initially submitted a now-stale version of the patch as a
bugreport[0] -- I assume I should close this, as patches are to be
submitted and discussed on this mailinglist (or bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org),
right?

Another thing: the patch is relatively small, but I guess it might be
over the no-copyright-assignment-needed limit; if this is the case,
please tell me so I can request papers from FSF for Emacs (and Org-Mode,
while I'm at it).  I have already signed papers for Guile, but I guess I
need to do this again for Emacs(?).

A description and rationale for the feature as well as ChangeLog entries
are in the patch headers, see below.  As for my personal use-case: I'd
like to create new frames using emacsclient for Email (Gnus) and IRC
(rcirc) and have my window manager (awesome[1]) put these frames on a
fixed tag (= virtual desktop).  The attached patch makes this possible
by allowing to influence e.g. the frame name at frame creation time.
You could do that before using "--eval", but that would set the
properties only after the frame has already been created.
