They're not as disjoint as I'd like, i.e., in one frame, I can access the files in another.. I guess Frames really just manages window arrangements, and doesn't actually multiplex different emacs sessions over one server. Also part of the reason I want multiple terminals is because this code is a distributed system, so after I compile something and I want to test it, I like to be able to lauch multiple processes in different windows and see the output live.
