Right [could you check in that change?].

Right; I played around with it a bit, but I didn't really want to use
sit-for 0.

I think correct thing to do is change the case in
Fpos_visible_in_window_p where the window vars are not up-to-date, where
it currently does the stuff with move_it_to, to do a full update of the
window's desired_matrix *if* FULLY is t (instead of using move_it_to; of
course if FULLy is nil, it would just use the old method).  That should
make the information accurate without doing a real redisplay.

I tried for a while to make this work, but I didn't have much success.
I was kind of hoping Gerd would comment on this thread... (`You bozo,
just do *this*, it's trivial!')
