Dear all,

I installed yesterday (for auctex & preview-latex) GNU Emacs[1].
Coming from XEmacs[2],  I evaluated my .emacs file (or .xemacs/init.el)
line by line and after a short while, GNU Emacs behaved as I hoped.
This morning, however, when I started GNU Emacs, the minibuffer turned
out to be a separate window.
Can somebody point me into the direction what I can do to avoid this?

I checked the usenet for "separate minibuffer" but the results
(typically from the 90s) dealt mainly with the wish to have a separate
minibuffer (which is not my wish).

Thanks,
Roland

You should have checked the Emacs manual and the Emacs Lisp manual
first.  Something is setting the frame's minibuffer frame parameter to
nil.

I'd grep for `minibuffer' in your .emacs and any elisp file it loads.

Thanks to Stefan Monnier and Kevin Rodgers for their replies!
It was, indeed, the case: In some additional file loaded from the
.emacs file, minibuffer's frame parameter was set to nil.
Sorry for the late acknowledgment, but I was away for a few days.

Best,
Roland
