Whatever we do has to work with most window managers.  If most window
managers allow Meta dragging, we can drop this issue.

Agreed.  However, such frames will never be as functional as a standard
graphical frame which is controlled by the window manager.  We have to
make a checklist for what we expect such frames to accomplish and what
Emacs has to do to manage them.

But remember that the topic of the present thread is to implement frames
without titlebars and external borders on OS X.  We can, in principle,
do that on GNU/Linux and Windows.  We cannot do that, so far, on OS X.

Yes, there can be only one tooltip frame.  I posted a feature to show
multiple such frames in the "Latest master broken on Cocoa/NS" thread
but IIRC never got a response from you.
