Ouch. That's the reason. Diredc is meant to be used frame-based. That's
why it defines a dedicated frame, and that's why there's a dedicated
command to navigate to/from it.

It's (S-F11) 'thing' is mainly to toggle-frames, so if the diredc frame
itself has gotten messed up then the diredc-recover 'thing' becomes useful.
