But that's exactly what we do currently: mark the window dedicated if and only if the window was created for this buffer. > It can't be used when a window is reused for displaying the buffer.

Not sure what "state" this includes, so maybe it's a good idea, but I haven't seen many complaints about the current behavior in this respect. Stefan
