I have added a menu binding to retrieve deleted windows 
second-mode -> child menu (c) -> retrieve existing windows (R). 

This way we can remove any frame or windows and we have the ability to
retrieve windows. But frames have to be recreated.

Hope this is sufficient. If not, we need a little bit more code to
prevent the deletion of any last child present in the removed frame.
But this is relatively easy.
