I use the following code that I got from Jack Moffit
(http://www.metajack.im), that does more or less what you're looking
for, I think. Add the following block to your org configs.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defadvice capture-finalize (after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the capture frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
(defadvice capture-destroy (after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-destroy to close the frame if it is the rememeber frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
(defun make-capture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(make-frame '((name . "capture")))
(select-frame-by-name "capture")
(delete-other-windows)
(org-capture)
)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Then call emacs as follows:
emacsclient -n -e '(make-capture-frame)'
Even better than calling from the command line in my experience is
triggering directly from your window manager, or something like
quicksliver if you use OS X...
I hope this is a start....
