raise-minibuffer-frame does not work

translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have the following code in my .emacs startup:
	(if use-separate-frame
	    (progn
	      (setq resize-minibuffer-frame t)
	      (setq x-pointer-shape x-pointer-left-ptr)
	      
	      (setq minibuffer-auto-raise t)
	      (defadvice message (after message activate)
		(raise-minibuffer-frame))
	      (defadvice y-or-n-p (before y-or-n-p activate)
		(raise-minibuffer-frame))
	      ;; isearch mode stuff
	      (add-hook 'isearch-mode-hook 'raise-minibuffer-frame)
;	      (add-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook 'lower-minibuffer-frame)
	      
	      (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'raise-minibuffer-frame)
;	      (add-hook 'minibuffer-exit-hook 'lower-minibuffer-frame)
	      ))

It always used to work, now it does not always work.
