Works as intended. The fact that newly opened frames get the focus  
seems  inconsistent, however. From a user's perspective, the same  
sequence of inputs will not lead to the same results, depending on  
whether the other frame happens to get focus or not. I think it'd be  
better if the newly opened frame never gets focus - even if the  
window manager initially gives it focus. That would implement the  
documentation of display-buffer more closely:  "Make buffer appear in  
some window but don't select it."
