I thought the benefit of that would be in not showing the real frame 
until all its customizations, such as colors and geometry, have taken 
effect.  That would avoid showing incorrect colors or wrong geometry.
We should be able to put something into startup.el and the support 
functions in frame.el so that the frame customizations affect the 
initial frame, not the one showing the splash.  We could also make the 
messages be redirected to the frame which shows the splash screen.

Or are you saying it's impossible or hard to modify frame's parameters 
for an iconified frame?
