Frame ordering

[David Reitter <david.reitter@gmail.com>]

Currently, frames seem to be selected in order of their creation; deleting a frame does not select the previously created frame, but the frame that was created before it.  Many users (e.g., see below) find this annoying, and so do I.

So, I've experimented with simply moving the frame to the end of Vframe_list in do_switch_frame:

if (XINT (Flength (Vframe_list)) > 1)
    {
      Vframe_list = Fdelete (frame, Vframe_list);
      Vframe_list = nconc2 (Vframe_list, tem);
    }

However, this results in hangs in redisplay or in outright crashes, depending on the variant of the above (sometimes in garbage collection).  What am I doing wrong?

Then I invoke "occur" to get a new frame containing an occur buffer. Now if I close the occur buffer, suddenly the frame with second.tex becomes active, which is not the frame from which I called "occur". Similar effects with latex output buffers.
