1. Download these two files and put them in your load-path:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/hexrgb.el
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/oneonone.el

2. Start Emacs:

runemacs.exe -Q --debug-init -l "hexrgb.el" -l "oneonone.el" -f "1on1-emacs"

3. Make *Backtrace* be a special-display buffer:

M-: (setq special-display-regexps '("[ ]?[*][^*]+[*]"))

4: Enter the debugger for `describe-mode':

M-x debug-on-entry RET describe-mode RET

C-h m

5: You are now in the debugger.  Hit `q' to exit.
The *Backtrace* frame gets iconified.

I want the frame to either remain or be deleted, not iconified.
I want users to be able to specify the behavior they prefer.
