The mini-window is the small window at the bottom of the frame which
is used to display the echo area and the minibuffer.

Would you please describe the recipe to try, and then describe how you
would like to change the current behavior in that recipe?  I feel that
I don't really understand what you are trying to say (e.g., what does
