Hi,
i have a little bit trouble parsing your mail, but i think the behaviour with 
the patch is already far better than without. To make it perfect, i would 
keep the patch, but extend it:

if frame handles (for an inline frame) are already shown (its selected), you 
can click on the handles that 'should not be visible -- are behind another 
frame --', 

but i don't think there should be a way to select an inline frame that ain't 
already selected by clicking on handles/frame borders that ain't visible, 
since that would be confusing: suppose you have some text running around 
frame A, and an inline frame in frame A that is too big for frame A. if you 
click on the text right of frame A, you expect the text to be selected or 
edited, not the frame behind the text, right ? if you want i can send you a 
.kwd file to show my point.

maybe we're just saying the same thing, but i don't quite get you right now.

greetings,
Frank
