As for the usage patterns, I should mention that it occurs often enough
that I use both terminal frames and X11 frames.
(And if Cocoa emacs was able to do it, I would also use X11 or terminal
frames at the same time with a Cocoa window).
Since I reboot emacs only when I need to reboot the underlying kernel, I
connect to my emacs instances thru any kind of interface. I have on my
desktop a MacOSX, a Linux and a MS-Windows-7 system, and I may also
connect to it remotely. Therefore I may want to make frames from any of
those interfaces to the same emacs instance.
