Here is an example I tend to run into.  I have a large frame where I  
am doing most of my work.  I have popped up two smaller frames to  
provide reference to different parts of the same file.  I wish to use  
the buffers>frames> menu to select one of the three frames displaying  
portions of the file.  One, I am editing in, the other two, I have for  
reference.


Not at all hypothetical, although I am more inclined to use a keyboard  
command, rather than the mouse, so somewhat contrived.
