Subject: 23.0.60; Text being added to wrong buffer

For a long time now I have been using a popup frame for diary
reminders
(defvar appt-used-frame nil
  "Frame used for displaying last appointment.")

(defun appt-disp-frame (min-to-app new-time appt-msg)
  "Display appointments in a frame"
  (if (get-buffer "*Appointments*") (kill-buffer "*Appointments*"))
  (get-buffer-create "*Appointments*")
  (set-buffer "*Appointments*")
  (save-excursion
    (let ((pos (mouse-pixel-position)))
      (if (not (frame-live-p appt-used-frame))
	  (setq appt-used-frame
		(make-frame '((name . "Appointments")
			      (menu-bar-lines . 1)	(minibuffer . nil) 
			      (modeline . nil)
			      (height . 5)		(width . 80)
			      (top . -2)		(left . 1)
			      (scroll-bar-width . 15)
			      (unsplittable . t)
			      (visibility . nil)
			      (border-width . 2)))))
;;      (menu-bar-mode -1)
      (and (eq 'icon (frame-visible-p appt-used-frame))
	   (make-frame-visible appt-used-frame))
      (set-frame-position appt-used-frame 1 -2)
      (select-frame appt-used-frame)
      (set-window-buffer (frame-first-window appt-used-frame)
			 (get-buffer-create "*Appointments*"))
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (make-frame-visible)
      (if (string-lessp emacs-version "22")
          (progn
            (insert "--- Appointment in " min-to-app " minutes ---\n\n")
            (insert appt-msg "\n"))
        (insert "--- Appointment in " min-to-app " minutes ---\n\n")
        (insert appt-msg "\n"))
      (toggle-read-only 1)
      (set-buffer-modified-p nil)
      (if appt-audible (beep 1))
      (select-frame (car pos))
      (set-mouse-pixel-position (car pos) (car (cdr pos)) (cdr (cdr pos))))))

For the last few days sometimes i get a blank popup frame and the text
of the appointment appears in another buffer I have open -- and that
buffer is changed to read-only.  It has actually just happened again
as I typed this message.


(defun appt-delete-frame ()
  "Remove the appointment frame and buffer"
  (if (frame-live-p appt-used-frame)
      (progn
	(make-frame-invisible appt-used-frame t)
	(delete-frame appt-used-frame)
	(setq appt-used-frame nil)))
  (delete-buffer "*Appointments*")
  (if appt-audible (beep 1)) )
      
(setq appt-disp-window-function 'appt-disp-frame)
(setq appt-delete-window-function 'appt-delete-frame)

This could be a compatability change but I am worried about text
appearing in other buffers.

When appt-used-frame is a live frame (select-frame appt-used-frame)
ends up with the buffer displayed in appt-used-frame's selected
window current.  That buffer is hardly your Appointments buffer since
you killed that a couple of lines above.

I can't comment on the correctness of your code or whether it's exposed
a bug, but I'd like to ask: What functionality do you want that is
missing from something simple like this:

(setq special-display-buffer-names
      (cons "*Appointments*" special-display-buffer-names))
