The page says that the package is using mini-buffer-only frames, which
are not implemented, because I wasn't interested. See the #if 0
make_terminal_frame.

Could you please describe in detail what you are doing? I haven't
understood yet. Posframe and Corfu are BTW the reason I added the
child frames.

Child frames in the more general sense was not so interesting. Always
talking about me personally of course. I think I talked with Martin
about adding stuff as needed if users really want it, or something, and
ISTR he agreed. But Martin can speak for himself :-).

Could you please give a recipe? I don't understand yet what you mean.
Or, if you want to investigate, please do :-). Please don't hesitate to
ask me any question. At least I still remember more stuff about this
than about igc :-).
