I tried the new window.el without rebuilding Emacs as:

emacs -Q -eval '(makunbound (quote display-buffer-alist))' -l window

The *scratch* window appears in an Emacs frame.  Say it is the
first frame.  Type `C-x 5 b RET' there.  The *Messages* window
will appear in a new Emacs frame.  Say it is the second frame.
And then type `C-x 4 f ~/.emacs RET' in the second frame.  Hmm,
the .emacs window appears in the first frame.  Isn't it strange?
At least it differs from old Emacsen.

I'll try it.  Thanks.
