-N also disables the splash screen, blinking cursor, and potentially
other stuff that is not closely related to "frame features".
What long name will you use for -N?
So the next thing somebody will tell us is that -N consists of
unrelated settings, and suggest to split it into -N and -M and ?

IMO, emacs -Q (in its current form) should be the reference for
reproducing errors -- if possible with even more features/settings
turned off (e.g. ignore .Xdefaults, Windows registry settings, etc).
