Yes, that is what I want.

There is a bug in the patch. I assumed that if "sib" was non-nil then
it would be a buffer window. That is not the case so a check of that
must be made. The most simple is to add another check with
WINDOW_LIVE_P.

Eh, forgot I had this little patch there... ;-)

I have added a second optional arg to make-frame-visible:
dont-activate. This is for use with top-most windows etc. I will come
back to that when I have time.
