For this to be quite successful one needs ---
1. emacs running as a server -- easily done with (server-start)
2. emacs to be quietly background-able, ie disappear without being
visible on the desktop. This is not possible because delete-frame
refuses to delete the last frame. In my view delete-frame should
quietly delete the frame if server is running. if not and its the last
frame it should chain to save-buffers-kill-emacs.
3. emacs to be understood as a service by the OS. This means it must
be compiled and follow the expected convention of service (for
windows) or daemon (for unices).
3 would give maximum convenience but at least 2 is necessary for easy
'service-able' usage (in my humble opinion)
