For the sake of transparent backward compatibility, I'd make --current-frame the default, and use -nw as an argument to force the use of the new multi-tty feature. This way you only get the new feature when you ask for it. I normally prefer using an X11 frame over a tty frame, so I'd only want to use -nw in those cases where it matters (typically when the bandwidth is limited). Stefan
