bug#16768: 24.3.50; `quit-restore-window' with KILL=t replaces special-d


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#16768: 24.3.50; `quit-restore-window' with KILL=t replaces special-display buffer in its dedicated window

This part of the `quit-restore-window' causes a special-display buffer,
whose window is dedicated to it, to be replaced in that window by
another buffer:

(t
 ;; Show some other buffer in WINDOW and reset the quit-restore
 ;; parameter.
 (set-window-parameter window 'quit-restore nil)
 ;; Make sure that WINDOW is no more dedicated.
 (set-window-dedicated-p window nil)
 (switch-to-prev-buffer window bury-or-kill))

If BURY-OR-KILL is `kill' then the window/frame should simply be
deleted.  A window dedicated to a particular buffer should not be reused
for another buffer.

Consider, for example, a `special-display-frame-alist' that specifies
certain frame attributes - e.g., a particular background color.  You do
not want to reuse such a frame for another buffer, especially for a non
special-display buffer.  The frame should be deleted when its buffer
is killed.
