It must be a dicision made during frame creation, i.e. before any text
is displayed in the minibuffer window (which is the only window in the
detached minibuffer frame.

So in my case, the frame is created with two lines, in Simon's case it
is created with one line.  Depending on the point of view, both
behaviours may be correct, but the question is what controls this.
