Probably a silly question: What does Cygwin do to pop it up when you are
"manually digging it up by mouse"? Or is Cygwin bypassed by Windows in
that case?

Dead-ugly. Nevertheless, we should provide support for that, e.g., by
introducing a `raise-frame-function' variable.

Ideally, these `raise-frame' calls are idempotent. Unfortunately,
sampling frame visibility is not that trivial.
