24.4; Attempt to delete a surrogate minibuffer frame |

I do not know how I got into this (sorry, I do not have a recipe to
reproduce this either). I have a frame I want to delete by running
delete-frame. Yet this only gives me the error message
"Attempt to delete a surrogate minibuffer frame"
and delete-frame refuses to do its job. What does this mean? If
nothing else, Emacs could do a better job explaining to the user
what it believes is going on and how the user can possibly resolve
this.
Possibly a relevant detail: I like to run Ediff sessions with one
split frame showing both buffers I need to compare. Yet Ediff
sometimes comes up with its own ideas about resources it likes to
use, grabbing another frame to show each buffer in a separate frame.
If I remember correctly this happened here, too, that is, maybe
Emacs believes that the frame I want to delete was/is part of the
Ediff session.
PS: Neither the Emacs nor the Elisp manual mention "surrogate" in
any context.

So I'm closing this bug.
Thanks, martin
