Agreed.
BTW, I suspect that the `spaces' calculation should ideally
be enhanced to take into account window margins rather than only
scrollbars and fringes.... clearly this is a nightmare and should
be solved in a cleaner way.

How 'bout the patch below ?
Note that it doesn't address the problem of the leading space
being different in different frames and that it wouldn't be
able to use a % magic thingy either.
