​Well, one more problem remains here.  If the new frame is created with

its window showing buffer1 and then set-window-buffer is used to

change it to buffer2 (or even if switch-to-buffer is used), buffer2 is

not displayed ​when the new frame is temporarily displayed (buffer1 is).

Not until after Emacs becomes idle agai is buffer2 displayed in this new

frame.

I have tried using sit-for, sleep-for, force-mode-line-update and

force-window-update but none of these seem to make redisplay show

buffer2 in the new frame.

Buffer2 is not known at the time of the new frame creation, so I can't

create it with that as the default.

(defun test2 ()

  (let ((depress-frame (selected-frame))

        (release-frame (make-frame)))

    (set-window-buffer (frame-selected-window release-frame) "*scratch*")

    (sit-for 0)

    (sleep-for 2)

    (select-frame-set-input-focus depress-frame)

    (sit-for 0)

    (sleep-for 2)

    (select-frame-set-input-focus release-frame)))

(test2)
