Re: managing windows in two frames

That sounds wrong: inhibit-switch-frame means to not use another frame,
so the only correct behavior for your function is that when
inhibit-switch-frame is non-nil your function should return nil
right away.

You'd need another parameter to specify the "don't raise" behavior.

Don't let-bind display-buffer-overriding-action here.
Just pass the relevant args to display-buffer.
display-buffer-overriding-action is only for use when you don't have
direct control over the call(s) to display-buffer.
