That is not always what you want. Could we please add a new parameter ACTIVATE to this function and let it default to t for interactive use? The changes needed to support this seems small. The function x_make_frame_visible needs a new parameter ACTIVATE to support this. (On w32 it is a very small change, but I do not know about X.) The reason to support it is that it makes it possible to make better in place completion (compare http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CompanyMode). The current implementations tends to use overlays. This solution breaks down currently when there are invisible parts in the buffer. I think a popup frame would be easier.
