I created the frame like so,

    (make-frame '((name . "vz/calendar-frame")
                  ;; (minibuffer . nil)
                  (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
                  (font . "monospace-16")))

Probably because I noticed the `name' parameter first in `(elisp) Frame
Parameters'.

I don't really understand what any of you said means.  All I wanted was
a unique WM_NAME so that I can move the frame to the top right corner.
These frames are usually ephemeral so I haven't had any problems so far,
