Short answer: no.
Longer answer:
Actually Emacs does not set the group leader. It is done by the tool
kits (Xt or GTK). The one set by the Xt WMShell still points to itself
(which in fact is a bug), but GTK creates a leader window for this. If
you compile Emacs without a tool kit (i.e. --with-x-toolkit=no) the
group leader will not be set.
The fact that Windowmaker makes a distinction sounds strange, but a WM
is free to do what it wants. I can't really deduce from your
explanation what the difference is.
