Is it possible - by lisp-code - to get the focus back to the former 
frame after evaluation of (make-frame ...) ?

Does this work:

(defadvice make-frame (around focus-frame activate)
   "Restore focus to the (previously) selected frame."
   (let ((selected-frame (selected-frame))
         (focus-function (intern (format "%s-focus-frame" window-system))))
     ad-do-it
     (when (fboundp focus-function)
       (funcall focus-function selected-frame))))

(what's the correct way to answers in this mailing list? - ( so the
