see other ways to detect errors besides a native messaging helper
application.
Would it be reasonable to make org-protocol raise Emacs frame on
failure?
Raising frame may help if window manager allows to do it. In some cases
the only possibility for a window is to request attention. Creating new
frame may be more reliable. Window manager may still take measures
against focus stealing. I have heard that such feature exist, but I am
unsure concerning severity of such policy.
However I was writing a more annoying issue. Firefox may quietly swallow
attempt to launch external protocol handler. Even no message is spitted
to console like in the case of unknown protocol or throttling due to
multiple attempts during short interval of time. Emacs is completely
unaware of capture attempt in such case.
