If the frame was iconified previously, switching it to the current
desktop would warrant a user-configurable option, I think (defaulting
to "off"). If it was _not_ iconified previously, I think it would be
very wrong to change the overall window configuration by moving frame
around.

Sounds like something we should likely do then.
