There's a regression in Emacs 24 compared to Emacs 23 wrt the behavior
of `quit-window'. In some circumstances, it iconifies frames that were
existing before the current buffer was created, which (AIUI) it's not
supposed to do.

Recipe starting from `emacs -Q':
- C-x 5 2 to create a new frame
- in the new frame, M-x man RET emacs RET
- C-x 0 to make the man buffer the current buffer
- q

When you hit `q' the frame gets iconified, even though it was not
created by M-x man.

Git bisect finds the following commit as the culprit:

| eb54d3ecc6903155955fc07d7f3baaed912c8378 is the first bad commit
| commit eb54d3ecc6903155955fc07d7f3baaed912c8378

| 
|     Make frame iconification/deletion optional when burying buffers.
| 
|     * window.el (window--delete): New function.
|     (frame-auto-delete): Resuscitate option.
|     (bury-buffer, replace-buffer-in-windows)
|     (quit-window): Rewrite using window--delete.
|     (display-buffer-pop-up-frame, display-buffer-pop-up-window):
|     Pass display-buffer-mark-dedicated to window--display-buffer-2
|     (Bug#9639).

Adding martin to Cc list.
