Allow X emacs frames to be scratchpads in xmonad

Browse Source 
Cannot have X11 emacs/emacsclient window as scratchpad in xmonad
- State "KNOWNCAUSE" from "BUG"        [2014-11-07 Fri 02:53] \\
  This is due to the fact that in xmonad I am unable to locate a particular emacs frame (X11
  window). This is because emacs' frames change there names dynamically and all have the same
  resource name, thus there's no way to locate them.
- State "BUG"        from "REPORT"     [2014-11-07 Fri 02:52] \\
  This is an issue. Emacs in terminal is nice but it's preferred to use a X11 instance when possible.

;; Use this function to create a X11 emacs frame with a static name so it can
;; be treated specially by xmonad (as a scratch-pad in this case). This is expected
;; to be run from command-line like so:
;; emacsclient --eval '(make-frame-with-static-name "emacs-scratch")'
(defun make-frame-with-static-name (given-name)
"Makes a (X11) frame with a unchanging name for the purposes of finding it with
a window manager, and treating it specially."
(select-frame (make-frame `((name . ,given-name)))))
;; Toggles windows split orientation of 2 adjecent windows
