The Elisp manual should say that you cannot change the value of
parameter `minibuffer' for an existing frame.
 
If you try to set it to nil, you get one error. If you try to set it
to a minibuffer window on another frame, you get a different error. If
you try to set it to `only', you get no error, but nothing happens.
We should say that this parameter is only for use in a frame alist
before the frame is created.
