Okay, I get it now.
And this is what Shawn meant when he said that he ran StumpWM from 
within emacs.

But then this brings up the obvious question.
If you can run emacs in X without a window manager, who needs a window
manager?  Ratpoison and StumpWM have been nice, but I guess I don't
need them anymore.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.  I never used those when I ran ratpoison,
and it never occured to me to use those here.
If I were still using a window manager, I'd look into xbindkeys.
