after-make-frame-functions

[kenneth johansson]

Using GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.5)

I'm trying to make some changes to a new frame but it looks like the 
function run on the hook after-make-frame-functions is affecting the
old frame not the new one. 

Add the following hook. start emacs with

emacs --daemon
emacsclient -c

and you will get a printout in messages that the frame is in a terminal. 
But that is not what I expect, the new frame is a window. 

bug or feature ?? 

------------
(defun start-theme (dummy)
  (if window-system
  (message "frame in window")
  (message "frame in terminal")
    )
  )

(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'start-theme)
-----------

(defun your-func (new-frame)
   (select-frame new-frame)
   (do-what-you-want))

Ok that worked. But it's far from obvious that this should be needed.
It is something that is needed like 99% of the time.
