They can > be reused, or deleted. Reusing them will cause less "flicker". The main application is to _restore_ the layout at the _beginning_ of a session. This means that the one initial frame would get reused. And this will conflict with restoring the layout in the middle of a session so I wouldn't care too much about this issue. Let's ignore the next issues for the moment. Currently, I am too silly to understand whether and where you set frame parameters and how this interacts with the setting of window parameters (like margin or fringe widths). > All in all, the patch is small and non-intrusive.
