I'm probably too silly to understand what you mean:


lower-frame is an interactive built-in function in ‘C source code’.

(lower-frame &optional FRAME)

  Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.29.

Send FRAME to the back, so it is occluded by any frames that overlap it.
If you don’t specify a frame, the selected frame is used.
If Emacs is displaying on an ordinary terminal or some other device which
doesn’t support multiple overlapping frames, this function does nothing.


Please try to understand that I'm apparently missing some detail in
what you want to achieve.

But why does 'lower-frame' not do for your Emacs frame what XFCE's
window-key + down-arrow does for Glen's?
