One point about %b which I think hasn't been raised yet. When selecting
another window (even if in the same frame), the frame title will change.
In addition, when using a desktop environment's panel (for example,
xfce4-panel) with "window buttons", there will be some visual activity
outside of the Emacs frame as well. Not sure if that could be
distracting.
