Kind of stupid that, isn't it?  I vaguely recall that Gerd successfully
changed Emacs to map the initial frame only _after_ .emacs was read, but
people who did weird things in their .emacs complained so this eminently
reasonable behavior was dropped for "compatibility".

It seems to me that it would much nicer to have Emacs map the frame only
after .emacs is read, and add a (map-frame) function or something that
people could use to force it to map earlier.
