Doesn't work for me, for some strange reason.

I think you may have forgotten to say that the advices have to be
activated?  If so, I assume this would be done by:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(ad-activate 'capture-finalize)
(ad-activate 'capture-destroy)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But, in any case, this doesn't seem to make any difference in my case.

The capture process itself works.  I get my menu of templates just fine.
Org captures the information when it should, i.e. if I finish normally
(C-c C-c), and ignores it if I abort (C-c C-k).  In either case, the
frame, named "capture", remains.

Hitting my "delete-frame" button (the Windows menu key to the right of
my spacebar -- had to use these keys for something) works just fine so
the problem is not with the delete frame function.

Any suggestions?  There's no error of any form that I can see.
