bug#53740: 29.0.50; Buffers->Frames menu lists F1

When emacs is started in server mode, the Frames submenu of the Buffers
menu includes an entry F1, for the initial pseudo-frame. Selecting this
entry does nothing, but its presence is confusing.

  emacs -Q --daemon
  emacsclient -c
  <click on "Buffers", then "Frames" in the menu-bar>

Should be fixed now on master, please test.

It doesn't seem to be fixed for me, neither on MS-Windows with a GUI
frame created by emacsclient, nor on GNU/Linux with TTY frames.  In
both cases, after emacsclient creates a client frame, the
Buffers->Frames menu shows the F1 frame that cannot be switched to.

What do you see on your system that caused you think the bug is fixed?
What recipe did you try?

Your change uses frame-initial-frame, but that is usually nil, so I'm
not sure this is the correct implementation.

I started a client by running Emacs as a daemon, then ran:

  emacsclient -c

And didn't see any frame submenu under the Buffers menu inside the newly
created frame.

Hmm, I'm not sure what the problem might be then.

Thanks.

Did you start the daemon with -Q?

Well, I do see the frame submenu, and the initial frame F1 there.

Can you try this in Emacs started by SSH login into a remote host?

The F1 frame shows up in the frame submenu when doing emacsclient -c
to an emacs running in daemon mode in an ssh session, with both tty
and graphical frame creation, on GNU/Linux.

(and frame-initial-frame is nil).

No, but I see the problem now with -Q.
I'll try to fix this again later.  Thanks.

Thanks, I hope I fixed this now on the master branch.

Yes, or should I say: 👍 (How do you do, fellow kids?)

Would it be useful to have the TTY frames named something other than
Fn?

By default?  (Because we already have "M-x set-frame-name".)  What
would you call them?

"Fn <tty>" or similar?

Is that really so different?  It will take more space on the mode
line, for starters.
