The default behaviour when you select a frame is for it to become
the insertion point. Other widgets such as buttons select their
parent as the insertion point. The only time you would use "set
insert" is if you want a button or other widget as a container.
Frames, Canvases and Toplevels by default set themselves as insertion
points. All others select their parents.
