Re: frame-local variables weirdness

[Juanma Barranquero]

I've simplified the test.  Apparently, getting the value of a
frame-local variable negatively affects whether the variable will
afterwards be able to turn automatically buffer-local.

 (defun test (sym bug)
  (set sym 'default)
  (make-variable-frame-local sym)
  (modify-frame-parameters nil (list (cons sym 'frame)))
  (when bug
    ;; Getting the value of sym changes the result
    (symbol-value sym))
  (make-variable-buffer-local sym)
  (set sym 'local)
  (list (local-variable-p sym)       ;; should be t
        (symbol-value sym)           ;; should be 'local
        (frame-parameter nil sym)))  ;; should be 'frame

Note that passing t to the BUG argument only changes one thing: that
(symbol-value sym) is run.

(test 'foo nil) => (t local frame)
(test 'bar t)   => (nil local local)

BTW, is there any easy way to remove a frame parameter? Testing this
bug is a PITA because you've got to use different symbols each time...
