With the command line command:
$ emacs --name="foobar" &
is possible to define the instance name of the main emacs window.
I ask is it possible to define or modify the name of the instance of a
new frame created with:
(make-frame)
?
It would be very practical, for example to define the instance name for
the emacs speedbar window, that will be so recognized by some
instance-name-aware WM (as sawfish).

(set-frame-name "foo")
set the "title" of the frame, but not the instance name.
>From xprop I get:
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "foo"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "foo"
*but*
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs21", "Emacs"
