Same issue for magit-status.

Ah, that's annoying!

I just came across the visible-frame-list function, which I might be able to use to work around this...

TODO: See if I can use EWMH via either this or wmctrl to implement this.

Some initial work on this here, but it's definitely alpha-quality.

[davidshepherd7]

This is fixed for X11 only. To use the fix you need to install wmctrl and set frames-only-mode-reopen-frames-from-hidden-x11-virtual-desktops to t.

It might be buggy on window managers other than XMonad, I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

@spwhitton Which window manager do you use? If it's something other than XMonad it would be great if you could give this a try at some point.

Sorry, David, but I'm back on GNOME without frames-only-mode (I wanted GNOME, I didn't want to get rid of frames-only-mode, but it doesn't make sense on GNOME).
