The alist by itelf does nothing. If you create a minibuffer frame, the alist will apply to it. >>From the Elisp manual, node Initial Frame Parameters: -- Variable: initial-frame-alist ... If these parameters specify a separate minibuffer-only frame with `(minibuffer . nil)', and you have not created one, Emacs creates one for you. -- Variable: minibuffer-frame-alist This variable's value is an alist of parameter values used when creating an initial minibuffer-only frame--if such a frame is needed, according to the parameters for the main initial frame. As an example, this library creates a minibuffer frame: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/oneonone.el (doc here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs).
