I run emacs with a detached minibuffer frame. The relevant part of my .emacs file is
(setq minibuffer-frame-alist '( (top . -100) (left . 4) (width . 124) (height . 1) (background-color . "white") (vertical-scroll-bars . nil) (name . "Minibuffer") ; (autoraise . t) )) (setq minibuffer-auto-raise t) (setq initial-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil))) (setq default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil) (top . 150) (left . 200) (width . 90) (height . 50) (background-color . "cornsilk2") (cursor-color . "blue") (mouse-color . "red") (menu-bar-lines . 1) (icon-type . t) )) The minibuffer background-color is cornsilk2, not white. I traced this to the function frame-set-after-frame-default (called from within x-create-frame-with-faces). frame-set-after-frame-default sets the frame background color from the :background parameter of the default face, overwriting any value that was set at frame creation.
