Thanks.  According to that dump you should see the minibuffer.  What
does evaluating

M-: (frame-parameter nil 'minibuffer)

give?  The fact that no title bar is visible is even more strange.  Do
you see menu bar and scroll bar normally?  Post your screenshot, it's
simpler than telling details.  And what happens when you maximize the
frame and restore its normal size immediately afterwards?
