Not at all.  The context you omitted makes it clear that (a) you are reaching
for straws by bringing in `dired-shrink-to-fit' and (b) Emacs 22 does not suffer
the bug: it removes the temporary display when done.

You are showing nothing but bad faith.  Why did you even make the partial fix,
wrt `pop-up-frames'?  Why don't you just tell users they can get the "sane"
behavior by setting `pop-up-frames' to nil?  This is a sorry state indeed.
