The problem is that I have to know the actual display that will get
used in order to convert this into pixels.  If I have the same buffer
on two different displays (like M-x talk-connect RET does), then the
same faces might have completely different pixel dimensions.

It also means that I can't set up the buffer independent of the
display that it is going to be shown on.
