What is the point of having a vertical scroll bar in the minibuffer?
How often is the minibuffer high enough to need it?
I see it as something useless, aesthetically awful, a waste of
horizontal space in the minibuffer.
Thus, I'd like to suggest either to remove it, or, if someone sees a
reason to keep it, control its visibility with its own
variable/command (different from `scroll-bar-mode').

Hi.
FWIW, the minibuffer scrollbar usually isn't shown in the Gtk+ port as there
isn't room for it. I have never missed it.

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
