That's not what I meant.  The old `dired-pop-to-buffer' did split the
window regardless of what `pop-up-frames' was set to and Juri wants to
get the old behavior back.  The question is whether we want
`pop-up-frames' non-nil override that.  Currently, `pop-up-frames'
non-nil does bring up a separate frame.
