Please read the Elisp manual before submitting such reports:


These frame parameters, meaningful on all kinds of terminals, deal with
which buffers have been, or should, be displayed in the frame.

`minibuffer'
     Whether this frame has its own minibuffer.  The value `t' means
     yes, `nil' means no, `only' means this frame is just a minibuffer.
     If the value is a minibuffer window (in some other frame), the
     frame uses that minibuffer.

     This frame parameter takes effect when the frame is created, and
     can not be changed afterwards.


Thanks, martin
