> `help-on-help' cannot deal with dedicated windows.
> To reproduce:
>
> (setq special-display-buffer-names '("*Help*"))
> (help-on-help)
>
> This will open a new frame with the *Help* buffer.  However, as soon as
> the user presses one of the keys (e.g., `a`), the frame is iconified,
> which is unexpected and not what you get when the window is not dedicated.
