Hi,
Let's say that I have two Emacs frames open. In one of them I've
opened ~/.emacs. If I then go to the other frame and execute the
command "C-x b .emacs", the frame with the already opened file will be
activated. I want the buffer to open in the frame that I execute the
command in. How do I change this behaviour?
The weird thing is that if I execute the command "M-x switch-to-
buffer .emacs", it works as I want it to work. I've tried to bind
switch-to-buffer to another key combination than C-x b, but then I got
the "wrong" behaviour again.

For ido these two variable control this behavior.
,----[ C-h v ido-default-buffer-method RET ]
| ido-default-buffer-method is a variable defined in `ido.el'.
| Its value is maybe-frame
|
| Documentation:
| *How to switch to new buffer when using `ido-switch-buffer'.
| See `ido-default-file-method' for details.

,----[ C-h v ido-default-file-method RET ]
| ido-default-file-method is a variable defined in `ido.el'.
| Its value is maybe-frame
|
| Documentation:
| *How to visit a new file when using `ido-find-file'.
| Possible values:
| `selected-window' Show new file in selected window
| `other-window' Show new file in another window (same frame)
| `display' Display file in another window without selecting to it
| `other-frame' Show new file in another frame
| `maybe-frame' If a file is visible in another frame, prompt to ask if you
| you want to see the file in the same window of the current
| frame or in the other frame
| `raise-frame' If a file is visible in another frame, raise that
| frame; otherwise, visit the file in the same window

If you don't use ido-mode, I have no clue how to do it.
Bye,
