In general we cannot guarantee that for any frame when there are
several of them.  Usually, the last frame created is the one on top.

A user could add a function to 'window-setup-hook' which looks whether
a *Warnings* buffer exists and, if it is not shown on the selected
frame, display it there and maybe delete it elsewhere.  Or, obviously,
select the frame where it is shown.  I don't know whether it's a good
idea to do that automatically.
