RMS's conclusion was "It doesn't fail for me, so there's nothing I can do." By that he meant that for him `q' always deleted the frame. Here is a recipe to reproduce the bug. emacs -q M-x set-variable RET pop-up-frames t M-x apropos-zippy RET wash RET Try `q' in the frame *Apropos Zippy*. It does nothing. I want it to delete the frame. Note: In other contexts, the frame is iconified instead of nothing happening. I always want it to be deleted, never iconified. I meant to send that to emacs-pretest, but since I sent it here, I'll continue here with the followup. Even without setting pop-up-frames = t, `q' does nothing in buffer *Apropos Zippy*, which is in view-mode. Same recipe, without the `set-variable'. Use `C-x o' to get to the buffer, then try `q'. If you use `M-x apropos', on the other hand, using `q' in the *Apropos* buffer gets rid of the buffer (it does `quit-window'). It doesn't get rid of the window, but in my pop-up-frames=t case, `quit-window' does get rid of the (dedicated-window) frame. If that behavior (get rid of the frame) could be used always, I'd be happy. *Apropos* is not in view-mode, however - the problem is with view-mode. In *Apropos*, `q' does `quit-window', which is exactly what I wish it would do in view-mode.
