This caused me to work with a fullscreen aquamacs so I could just use emacs as my window manager essentially. The only problem arises because somehow what calls itself the "scratch buffer" in its title bar becomes a separate window. I say its not really the scratch buffer since I can not type in this window. Also, if I minimize that window I can not use the other, real aquamacs, window at all until I unminimize it.

I haven't seen such effects with the Aquamacs 2.1 fullscreen mode.  However, since 2.1 was released, we have made good progress with a new fullscreen mode.  I'd invite you to try it out - download the master branch nightly build from http://aquamacs.org/nightlies.shtml

I hope that'll address the problem.
