I agree that there is no point in having frame-local buffer lists
when pop-up-frames is set to t, so I propose in that case we
continue to use the global buffer-list, as before.
`pop-up-frames' is mainly a way of preventing help buffers and such
from messing up window configurations. `C-x b' still gives buffers in
the selected frame. `M-x buffer-menu' still gives the Buffer Menu in
the selected frame. Granted `C-x C-b' pops up the Buffer Menu in a
separate frame (and selects it, which seems strange). But if you
auto-revert the Buffer Menu, then after at most auto-revert-interval
(default 5) seconds, a displayed Buffer Menu frame will automatically
update for the currently selected frame.
The frame local buffer list only makes no sense if you not only set
pop-up-frames to t, but, much more importantly, always use C-x 5 b
instead of C-x b, as Drew apparently does. (I believe that he must
have rebound C-x b to run `C-x 5 b') But that is highly personal usage.
On the other hand, if you do not use separate frames systematically
for separate themes, then usually the least important buffers are the
_globally_ least recent ones. So in that case you might prefer the
old behavior, regardless of the value of `pop-up-frames'.
So, should I apply this patch or not? :-)
For the reasons explained above, I would prefer a user option, with
the new behavior as default. In other words, I would prefer the
following patch, which I could install if we decide to do that:
