AFAIK, scroll-bar-mode and fringe-mode frame parameters are mostly
historical errors (they should be either window parameters or
buffer-local settings).
menu-bar-mode and tool-bar-mode refer to frame-level entities, so it
makes sense to configure them on a frame-by-frame basis.
Since there can be several cursors per frame, `blink-cursor-mode' should
be per-window or per-buffer.
Not sure if setting it buffer-locally works, but it's not terribly
important since AFAIK either users want it to blink everywhere
or nowhere.
