Yes!
But the defult "Use selected window" in the the variable "server-window"
doesn't, even if it maybe should. And I had the argument
(server-start) in my .emacs As I understand it that should run Emacs as
Emacsserver. And I choose to open new files, from the filemanager with
the application/command emacsclient. But all opened files creates a new
frame.
