Yes, that's my point -- this chunk of code is trying to implement
"don't bring up the display window if we won't use it", and it
doesn't work properly [ie does not suppress the window in all the
cases where it should] because inevitably it lags behind the
set of options in vl.c which don't bring up the display window.

I don't particularly object to the patch being committed as a short
term measure.
