this is something I also tried hard to achive.

I played a bit with your code.  I also use emacs24.  I also get a
split frame.  I think it's org-capture which splits the frame.

I want to run this with emacsclient.  But when there is no
graphical (X11) frame then emacsclient -e '(make-capture-frame)'
does nothing, no frame pops up.

me too.  For my capture needs I would like to automatically open a frame for
org-capture and also automatically close it when finishing the
capture.  This should happen regardless of other frames or the
lack of other frames.

Ciao, Gregor
