Thanks! The patch applied cleanly and everything compiled fine.

This works great too.

Everything up to that point worked great :)

That works fine.

I haven't needed this yet :)

Thanks. Maybe this is a good time to introduce my use case: I'd like to replace company-mode's overlay-based "tooltips" with proper tooltip-like frames. show-x-tooltip almost works for that purpose, but not quite: most importantly, there can at any time only be at most one pop-up.

✓, although if I create a frame with no-focus-on-map I then need a call to raise-frame to raise it — even if its z-group is 'above. Maybe when z-group is "above" the frame should be automatically raised?

✓, although it would be nice to automatically raise the frame when x-group is above. I can call raise-frame, but it doesn't work correctly when the frame is invisible (and setting the visibility to t before raising the frame doesn't work either).

Cool. I should use this to make sure the popup stays around.

I think this is wonderful work; thanks so much for doing all this.
I've posted the code I used to test this with company. f you eval this and run M-x company-tooltip--add-advice, completion should use an x frame in addition to its regular overlay-based tooltips. This works very nicely, except for a few problems listed below:
* Creating a frame is rather slow; the following is an excerpt of a profile:
- make-frame 442 29%
- frame-creation-function 440 29%
- apply 440 29%
- #<compiled 0x4862dd> 440 29%
- x-create-frame-with-faces 440 29%
- face-set-after-frame-default 307 20%
- face-spec-recalc 276 18%
- make-face-x-resource-internal 217 14%
- set-face-attributes-from-resources 213 14%
- set-face-attribute-from-resource 190 12%
- face-name 126 8%
+ check-face 118 7%
+ face-spec-reset-face 44 2%
+ face-spec-set-2 7 0%
set-face-attribute 8 0%
normal-erase-is-backspace-setup-frame 2 0%
* Frames with z-group set to 'above are not automatically raised when no-focus-on-map is set, so I need to call x-raise-frame on them; this doesn't work when they are invisible (instead it makes them visible without raising them, it seems).
* Creating a frame / making it visible uses my WM's frame creating animation — is there a way to disable this (x-show-tip doesn't have it)?
Thanks again for all this cool stuff! It would be great to use proper frames for company's completion popups.
