Adjusting frame glyphs makes all glyph rows disabled, so various
redisplay optimizations should be disabled.  In particular, new cursor
position was correctly computed, but because it was on a disabled
glyph row, display_and_set_cursor would not obey that new position,
and exposing a window would not redraw the disabled glyph rows.

Does the patch below fix the problems you see?  (It might look a bit
drastic, but then loading new fonts is not supposed to be a frequent
operation, I think.)
