Maybe it's not entirely clear from this description.  The

(y-or-n-p "\n")

form must be evaluated in the new, minibuffer-less frame.  Then the
minibuffer window in the first, minibuffer-equipped frame appears
empty.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?  This is a regression wrt Emacs 25.

Thanks, martin
