Precisely for this reason is the patch not sufficient.
When there is a hidden frame, and you delete the only other existing  
frame, we end up in a situation where there is no key window to  
receive the event, and all events (including menu items) are simply  
dropped.

I've experimented with NSWindow's makeKeyWindow, which should leave  
the order of the windows so the frame stays hidden.

However, this alone doesn't do the job.  Events still get dropped when  
you do

(progn
   (make-frame-invisible (selected-frame) t)
   (make-frame)
   (delete-frame (selected-frame) t))


Note that I had to add FRAME_SAMPLE_VISIBILITY compared to the last  
patch I sent.
