I have good news! Emacs has per-frame buffer-lists as well: see
<info:(elisp)The Buffer List>.

`list-buffers' (C-x C-b) does not use the frame-local buffer-list, but
rather the global one. This seems like a bug in the CVS trunk, easily
fixed by a one-line patch:

* buff-menu.el (list-buffers-noselect): Display the selected
frame's buffer list, not the global one.
Any objections?

I agree, but it's very hard to fix it. I wonder what did the XEmacs
developers do; did they simply ignore the underlying problem?
