I know how conkeror works (at least the how it worked one month ago,
also the stand-alone version) and I know that it has buffers.  This is
exactly what I don't like and why I specified "I don't like having
multiple *frames*".

Let me elaborate: my workflow is to have only one browser X window,
fully of different tabs.  The same is possible on emacs-w3m, which
doesn't have its own X window (I use exclusively `emacs -nw`), but it
has its own Emacs frames, as my Gnus, Erc and the other Emacs stuff
have.  So, I can switch to Gnus by selecting the appropriate frame,
the same for Erc, emacs-w3m and so on.

FWIW, as you surely already know, every Emacs frame has an X window
when you use a "graphical" Emacs is started with X support.  That's
why in my first reply I use the word "multiple frames".

Conkeror, however, shows only one buffer (or tab, which is not the
same, but the end result yes) at the time, creating an X window for
every buffer you open.  Instead, I'd like to have all the buffers in
one X window, thus tabbed browsing.

ATM, this the main stopper for me to fully adopt Conkeror.

I'm aware of that, this is why I'm considering Conkeror ;-)

Thx, bye,
