I'm not sure what is its semantics either, but the problem you're referring to is specifically when *creating* a new frame, so it basically means that inhibit-switch-frame can only work reliably if it prevents creation of new frames. But it might still make a difference when using an existing frame by preventing that we raise that frame. Not sure if it will also repvent it from being de-iconified (which would again risk raising it outside of our control). Stefan
