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. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
