t means the active minibuffer always displays on the selected frame.

Nil means that a minibuffer will appear only in the frame which created it. Any other value means the minibuffer will move onto another frame, but only when the user starts using a minibuffer there.

Any buffer local or dynamic binding of this variable is ignored. Only the default top level value is used.
