I think Andrea meant to say switching window. But none the less, Emacs 
has the ability to switch frames, `C-x 5 o' or even your regular 
`switch-buffer'. But I think it does it by talking to the window manager.

This can be very useful when you have multiple emacs frames for one 
instance of emacs on different desktops. If you have configured your 
window manager appropriately simply switching to a buffer shown on 
another desktop can switch you to that desktop and raise the Emacs frame 
with the buffer. :)
