IIUC I use something similar to the mini-frame package and it's already
quite hairy to make the minibuffer frame pop up and automatically get
input focus.  The input focus thing will be hard to implement on ttys.

Is the cursor in the normal window or in the posframe window?

Do you mean that you do _not_ want to alter text in the child frame?

If you have the time, please also try to look into two issues I raised
earlier:

  Two further things I noticed: When point in the parent frame is
  effectively hidden by the child frame, its cursor sometimes appears at
  the right of the child frame and sometimes it's not shown.  I have not
  understood the underlying principle for this behavior.  Also when the
  selected region in the parent frame is active, its overlay covers the
  child frame.  That's ugly.
