Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In the X Window environment and with the `minibuffer' resource set to
`none' (or equivalently the `default-frame-alist' variable containing
a (minibuffer . nil) cell), there's no fancy splash screen at startup.

With the default `one minibuffer per frame' setting, there's a fancy
splash screen.

The function `use-fancy-splash-screens-p' test the current window
height to decide if fancy splash sceens should be used.

It looks like the current frame when `use-fancy-splash-screen-p' is
called is the minibuffer-only frame. Most of the time its height is
too small for `use-fancy-screen-p' to return true...

Thanks for your time and congratulations for the emacs software.
