:calling-frame *application-frame* addresses the problem of popping up a
non-modal window from within a modal window, ie. accepting-values window,
If you dont specify a :calling-frame then the newly popped window does not
get events.

In the single screen case you need to specify :calling-frame for the event
handling to work. In the multi-screen case CLIM should really ignore it.
I will fix this.
