I'm completely unfamiliar with this code so can't say anything
intelligent about that change (and don't have any opinion whether it's
good or not).

But it does ring a bell here: for company-mode's popup menus, we'd want
to be able to create non-toolkit popup frames, even if Emacs was built
with support for toolkit popup frames.
