I don't know what the test recipe would be.
I don't know what it is for my setup either. All I know is that I have had to
add calls to `select-frame-set-input-focus', and that `select-frame' did not do
the trick.
And I don't say that `select-frame' _never_ gives focus to the frame it selects.
I'm saying only that in some situations I have had to use `s-f-s-i-p'.
Typically, IIRC, this has been necessary when using the minibuffer, and, e.g. a
key in the minibuffer map caused a new frame to be created or (correctly) caused
some action to take place in another frame. In such situations I need to call
`s-f-s-i-f' to the standalone minibuffer frame in order to continue with
minibuffer input (e.g. completion). `select-frame' does not cut the mustard
here.

Could be. But as I say, `select-frame' did not seem to do the job, which is why
I moved on to `s-f-s-i-f', which did.

Thank you for your efforts.
