Ok; thanks. So if I understand correctly, the implementation would look like 
this:

* add a frame parameter to frame_parms in frame.c, say "chromeless"
* add an x_set_chromeless slot in each of frame_parm_handler 
x_frame_parm_handlers[], frame_parm_handler w32_frame_parm_handlers[], 
frame_parm_handler ns_frame_parm_handlers[]; for the last two point to 0 for 
now; for the first one point to a new function x_set_chromeless.
* In x-create-frame, add something like
    x_default_parameter (f, parms, Qchromeless, Qnil,
                         "chromeless", "Chromeless", RES_TYPE_BOOLEAN);

Am I missing steps (in terms of implementation)?

Thanks for your help!
Clément.
