Normally, each frame has its own minibuffer window at the bottom, which
is used whenever that frame is selected. If the frame has a minibuffer,
you can get it with minibuffer-window (see Minibuffer Misc).
However, you can also create a frame with no minibuffer. Such a frame
must use the minibuffer window of some other frame. When you create the
frame, you can specify explicitly the minibuffer window to use (in some
other frame). If you don’t, then the minibuffer is found in the frame
which is the value of the variable default-minibuffer-frame. Its
value should be a frame which does have a minibuffer.
This variable specifies the frame to use for the minibuffer window, by default.
