I'm not sure if this is how the firefox plugin does it, but remember that you
can do:
> emacsclient -e "(elisp expr)"
so from the stumpwm side, you just have to construct the right elisp expressions
and send them to emacsclient for their side-effects.  This might be a bit
cleaner than using stumpwm to send emacs the key presses.  Then you just have
to used stumpwm for interacting with non-extension aware apps (like skype
converstations).  You should be able to pull metadata out of the windows from
stumpwm.  This idea has a lot of potential! I hope you pursue it.
