I checked in code to cause ispell to quit if the user enters a
frame-switch event or clicks in another frame.

This fix isn't perfect: it doesn't kick in if the user clicks directly
on a GTK menu (though it does cause quit when the user later leaves the
menu).  However, this may be a limitation of our GTK support, and OTOH I
don't see how to make it work.
