The frame started by "emacsclient -c" is no different than a frame
started with "emacs". It closes when you type C-x C-c. In particular
killing an emacs window should not kill the frame.  With this patch, and
notmuch-mua-compose-in set to new-window, notmuch does this.

It is pretty disruptive to have a frame closed unexpectedly, and I think
enough people use 'emacsclient -c' that this is not a use case we can
dismiss.

In any event, I just checked with 'emacs -q', no emacsclient, and the
behaviour of 'new-window is strange there too, since it buries the
notmuch window, and leaves the window containing the sent message
displayed.
