Be able to have a mode-line for a standalone minibuffer frame.
Presumably this should be covered by the (undocumented) frame parameter
`modeline'. But it seems that if you set its value to t for a
minibuffer-only frame, the parameter value ends up nil anyway.
You can set lots of frame parameters for a standalone minibuffer frame,
but apparently not this one. Not even if you set it from the outset,
for `minibuffer-frame-alist'.

Yes, you cannot set that parameter, because it doesn't really exist.

Aside from the parameter, which misleads, the enhancement
request remains: to be able to have a mode-line for a
standalone minibuffer frame.

I'm not sure I understand the utility of this -- putting a mode line on
a standalone minibuffer frame doesn't seem very useful. Can you explain
why you'd like to see this?
