(when (one-window-p) (error "No other windows"))) (defadvice other-frame (before one-frame-p activate) "If there are no other frames, signal an error." (when (= (length (frame-list)) 1) (error "No other frames"))) (setq debug-ignored-errors (cons "\\`No other \\(window\\|frame\\)s\\'" debug-ignored-errors)) -- Kevin
