The general approach sounds good, but we should probably try to refine
it so as to minimize changes in behavior, and so it works right in the
multi-frame and even multi-terminal case.
We could try to store the last-used-window in a variable
`debugger-last-used-window' and use that window after checking that it's
still live and is visible in the selected terminal.
