Even without emacsclient?

But it eventually does get focus if you insist by executing
'select-frame-set-input-focus' twice.  Right?

Earlier you said:

   It works correctly in emacsclient; not correctly when I run Emacs as a
   standalone process, either with -Q flag or without.

So shouldn't you try with a standalone Emacs?

If setting the parent in 'make-frame' works, then we can warn about
reparenting later possibly causing problems with focus transfer.  But if
the problematic behavior occurs when you want to pop up an (already
existing but invisible) child menu frame on a different parent and give
the menu focus, I have no idea what to do.  So does the latter work for
you?
