Exwm is a popular window manager using emacs (https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki). It has a floating mode to hold floating X window. The floating mode is a bit different. An extra Emacs frame is created to hold the X window.

Currently, ace-window-display-mode fail to show a character on the modeline for floating X window. Is there a way to support floating windows?

I have no idea. But I'd gladly accept a PR.

Is it easy to set up Exwm? I've never tried it.

EXWM is super easy to setup. Make emacs a window manager enables us to use good emacs packages for X window applications too. Such as the input method if english is not the only language you need to deal with.
