	alpha frame parameter causes flashing with standalone minibuffer
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:45:20 -0700

I use a standalone minibuffer frame.

If I set the alpha frame parameter for some frame to (alpha 100 . 80),
then whenever that frame is inactive it becomes 20% transparent, as
intended.  However, when the minibuffer becomes active the alpha frame
flashes.  And it flashes again for each char I type or delete in the
minibuffer.  This renders the alpha feature useless.
