Where/How can I find that specifier in the customization buffer?
Ok. I tried those two:
(progn
(makunbound 'display-buffer-alist)
(load "window")
(setcdr (car display-buffer-alist)
(append (cdar display-buffer-alist)
'((other-window-means-other-frame . nil)))))
(progn
(makunbound 'display-buffer-alist)
(load "window")
(setcdr (car display-buffer-alist)
(append '((other-window-means-other-frame . nil))
(cdar display-buffer-alist))))
But I saw no difference. `C-x 4 f' or `C-x 4 b' still opens a file
or a buffer in a new frame, or another existing frame that already
displays its window. In the later case, I cannot see it immediately
if that frame is hidden by other applications or iconified.
I only want to see it in the other window of the current frame.

No, both are nil. I leave most such options the default.

The main reason I want to do all within the current frame is because
Emacs doesn't raise a hidden frame. On cygwin (I use it in the office)
and on Fedora 14 Linux (I use it in home), Emacs puts a newly created
frame on the top of the screen, but it doesn't for a frame that exists
but is hidden.
As for Fedora 14, I use an external program called `wmctrl' to make
`raise-frame' work, but it has no effect on cygwin. Cf.

Confirmed. Thanks.
