At startup my Emacs has 1 frame, with 1 (mini) window, and 0 mode-lines.
Also, even after I've opened a few other frames, there's still only ever
1 miniwindow and it has no mode-line next to it (and all the frames with
their mode lines may be iconified or displayed on some other display).

I.e. putting the info on the mode line is not a good idea.
