Subject: set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line

emacs -Q

M-: (setq pop-up-frames t)
M-: (setq minibuffer-frame-alist (cons (quote (minibuffer . only))
                                       minibuffer-frame-alist))
M-: (setq default-frame-alist (cons (quote (minibuffer))
                                    default-frame-alist))
M-: (make-frame minibuffer-frame-alist)
C-x 4 d some directory

With the dired frame selected:
M-: (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 30 40)

The dired frame is correctly resized, but an empty extra line appears
below the mode line (there is no minibuffer on this frame).

With the dired frame selected, repeat the last command (that is,
repeat (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 30 40)):

C-x ESC ESC

Now, both the extra empty "minibuffer" line and the mode line have
disappeared.

The more serious bug is the disappearance of the mode line. No matter
how many times the `set-frame-size' is repeated, the mode line does
not reappear.

IOW, the first `set-frame-size' is OK (except for the extra blank
line), but repeating it removes the mode line.

This is not related to C-x ESC ESC or M-:. The same thing happens
from Lisp code that calls `set-frame-size'. If there is a standalone
minibuffer, then the problem arises.

I followed this complicated recipe on a GNU/Linux system, and could
not produce the reported bug. Perhaps it is Windows-specific.

Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Thu, 2007 Aug 16  09:43  UTC
GNU Emacs 22.1.50.19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.13)
started with

     /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q 

On a conventionial Emacs, version 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600),
distributed by a company that restricts you for other software, Drew
Adams reported

    The dired frame is correctly resized, but an empty extra line appears
    below the mode line (there is no minibuffer on this frame).

This does not happen with my GNU/Linux system with the CVS snapshot;
it all works as expected.

Specifically, I evaluated the following in *scratch*:

    (setq pop-up-frames t)
    (setq minibuffer-frame-alist (cons (quote (minibuffer . only))
                                       minibuffer-frame-alist))
    (setq default-frame-alist (cons (quote (minibuffer))
                                    default-frame-alist))
    (make-frame minibuffer-frame-alist)

Then,

    C-x 4 d some directory

    With the dired frame selected:
    M-: (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 30 40)

and Drew reported the problem but I did not see any.  Also, I followed
his further instructions but the mode line did not disappear.

Thanks.

Would those who care about Windows support please take a look?

Earlier I explained that on WindowsME it's sufficient to do

(set-frame-size (selected-frame) 30 40)

to trigger the bug, provided it makes the menu bar wrap (make it occupy
two lines instead of one).  Does anyone know whether and how the
redisplay code for Windows handles wrapping of the menu bar?
