It's now possible to do the latter reliably by adding the following
form
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
(lambda (frame)
(set-window-scroll-bars
(minibuffer-window frame) 0 nil 0 nil t)))
to the early init file. I added a corresponding example to the Elisp
manual and mark this bug as done.
Thanks, martin
