Maybe I shouldn't have said non-X - I assumed that you couldn't
receive events without a frame in X. Maybe that's wrong.
The behavior would be that the application sticks around, may open a
new frame (even automatically, when the minibuffer is used) when user
interaction requires it. After all, the menu bar may still be visible
(doesn't need a frame).
I looked some more at the code (mainly by enabling frame deletion in
this case), and because we expect there to be a selected frame pretty
much at all times, I don't think this can be fixed. (But I would hope
I'm wrong.)
Does Emacs in daemon mode run with a special event loop?
I'd be happy for this to be closed as a "wontfix" bug, or if the
delete-frame doc string was improved.
