We'd have to recreate the old window sequence numbers first and make
windows and saved minibuffer frame parameters store these numbers.  The
minibuffer frame parameters would have to be restored after all frames
have been created, from a list associating each new window with its old
sequence number.

Here we'd have for each frame/window store the names of the buffers on
these lists and reassign them after the buffers have been recreated.
