I use wmctrl with a little script that I bind to a key combination which
either brings the app to the foreground or starts it if it is not running:
#!/bin/sh
###
# Switch to a screen or do something
###
if ! wmctrl -a $1; then $2; fi
I save this as switchto and then:
switchto "Mozilla Firefox" "firefox"
Perhaps wmctrl could be used in the same way for emacs?
Cheers,
ian
