But you should be able to do that explicitly: (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions (lambda (frame) (modify-frame-parameters frame `((parent-frame . ,(selected-frame)))))) (defadvice set-frame-name (before interactive activate) "When called interactively, provide the parent frame's name as the initial input." (interactive (list (read-string "Frame name: " (concat (frame-parameter (frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'parent-frame) 'name) " "))))) -- Kevin Rodgers
