What is a permanent window?  IIRC we only fit new windows or frames
that go away when quit and carefully try to not resize other windows
but the one used for splitting off the new window.  Old windows are
fit iff they did show the same buffer before and were created for that
buffer.  Such windows should, by concept, not be reused for showing
another buffer.

In what sense?
