Re: resizing frames and windows

I forgot that you asked to do the following tasks, so here they are.
With the patched Emacs:

Yes.  The one-line window in particular still exists.

While maximized, I split the window vertically until the frame consists
entirely of two-line windows.  Upon unmaximizing, the windows that can't
fit are deleted.  Seems OK.

This seems to work fine.

The other window is deleted, for several valid values of
window-min-height I tested.  A window-min-height of -1 seems the same as
1, which is OK.

Same as above.

Yes.  Works fine.

No problems here.

Thanks for working on this.
