If Emacs is started as `emacs --daemon`, there would be no frame
while executing .emacs.  If not started as a daemon, there would
be one, but after-make-frame-functions won't be executed for this
frame.

Therefore I wrote this macro:

(require 'cl)
(defmacro do-frames (&rest body)
  (let ((frame (gensym)))
    `(progn
       (dolist (,frame (frame-list))
         (select-frame ,frame)
         ,@body)
       (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
                 (lambda (new-frame)
                   (select-frame new-frame)
                   ,@body)))))

And (do-frames (what-ever you-like)) would work for all frames,
either started as daemon or not.
