OK. Presumably you set this up by setting the 'visibility frame
parameter. I don't think setting that frame parameter causes
Fmake_frame_invisible to get called. At least, I can't find the call
anywhere.
I don't think I was clear enough in my OP, but it's calls to
Fmake_frame_invisible which are bothering me. That function moves any
minibuffer on the frame to some other frame. I don't think it should.
That's what I'm trying to sort out.
