Agreed.  But what's the right test?  It is _not_ `pop-up-frames' non-nil,
because users can do other things than that to cause a new frame to be created
for this dialog.  What's needed is a test of whether a frame was newly created
for this dialog buffer.  What's the code for that test?

Yes, I know.  It was already there, and I left it.  It seems benign in this case
AFAICT, but feel free to fix this as it really should be fixed.

The bug report is about the annoyance of not deleting a new frame that was
created (using whatever mechanism, including non-nil `pop-up-frames') for dialog
purposes.  When the dialog is finished, such a new frame should disappear.
Users should not need to manually delete it.

How the bug gets fixed is up to you.  I'm reporting the problem, not a
particular fix.

If that does what's needed, fine; go for it.  I have no objection.

As I said, "Martin will explain...".  That's fine with me, as long as the bug
gets fixed.
