Sorry if this has been thrashed out before...
minibuf.el (in contrib/anonymous) does not work as suplied when
running under tvtwm. This is because it assumes that the last thing it
finds when moving up the window tree before hitting the root is the
current screen's frame. In tvtwm it finds the virtual root, which
doesn't _quite_ work :-).
Below is a patch to make it understand tvtwm's virtual root.
This works for me, but a friend seems to be having an unrelated
problem where the minibuffer grows downwards seemingly with each focus
change. Has anyone had that error? I can't duplicate it.
