I'm attaching an example, where I hope one can see that in a "normal"
child window this seems to work ATM. (Didn't get the blinking cursor in
the capture, but it's in the minibuffer in the child frae.) Please note
that the parent frame's minibuffer is inactive, everything happens in
the minibuffer of the child frame.
