GNU Emacs 22.0.50.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2006-06-05 on quant8

I want buffers created by the emacs server to show up in their own
frames, so I do

(add-hook 'server-switch-hook 'new-frame)
(custom-set-variables '(server-window 'pop-to-buffer))

the result is that the server buffer is shown both in a new frame and a
new window in an existing frame.
neither *Help*, nor *info*, nor the source are helpful...

You could try setting server-window to a function that doesn't do
anything, like 'ignore or 'identity.

I do

  (add-hook 'server-visit-hook
            '(lambda () (setq server-window (new-frame))))

a new frame is created, but the server buffer is not shown there.

    I do (add-hook 'server-visit-hook
                   '(lambda () (setq server-window (new-frame))))

A propos - Shouldn't these variables (server-*) be recognized by `C-h v'
without loading server.el?

I do not observe any change in behaviour.

This is what I'm using:

(defun server-done-maybe-delete-frame ()
  (if (and (not server-clients)
	   (frame-live-p server-window))
      (delete-frame server-window)))
(add-hook 'server-done-hook 'server-done-maybe-delete-frame)
(defun server-window-create-frame (next-buffer)
  (setq server-window (make-frame))
  (server-switch-buffer next-buffer))
(setq server-window 'server-window-create-frame)

Andreas.

No: a user should not expect foo-* variables to be recognized by C-h v until
`foo' is loaded.

> (add-hook 'server-switch-hook 'new-frame)

IIRC using server-switch-hook had problems because it's either not always
called when you need the new frame, or it's also called at times when you
don't want it.

> (custom-set-variables '(server-window 'pop-to-buffer))

I believe that's what you want.  But maybe your `pop-to-buffer' doesn't
create new frames because you haven't set pop-up-frames.  If you don't want
to set pop-up-frames in general, try:

(setq server-window
      (lambda (&rest args)
        (let ((pop-up-frames t))
          (apply 'pop-to-buffer args))))
