Subject: Funny handling of background color for initial minibuffer-only frame


A bug was recently introduced (within the last week or two) which is
triggered by my minibuffer-only setup.

It can be reproduced with the following steps:

   emacs -Q --eval "(setq initial-frame-alist
                          '((minibuffer . only)
                            (background-color . \"red\")))"

you should see a single frame open, with an ugly red background (rest
assured this is not the color I use ;-) where all the text is incorrectly
displayed with a white background rather than a red background.

The bug was introduced by this change:

2006-01-26  Richard M. Stallman  <rms@gnu.org>

	* xfns.c (Fx_create_frame): Put all specified parms into f->param_alist
	unless they were cleared out.

I fixed this.  Thanks for partly debugging it.
