Wow - you just keep one emacs frame around?  I usually have half a
dozen or so.

I'm not sure.  This problem comes up with many emacs applications -
there is never any point in setting up a set of windows in a frame
the way you like it because it ends up getting clobbered by some
temporary message or completion buffer.  

ido-mode has been the nearest thing to giving me what I want.  So
therefore the solution.  Its not perfect, but at least when it
switches buffers it travels to the frame that I last had the buffer
in rather than using the current frame.  

Thanks,  Jody
