I'm not sure how to handle truncate-partial-window-width. It's true that if word wrapping is to be useful, it shouldn't be turned off by truncate-partial-window-width. But if we change it as you suggest, the name of the variable no longer really makes sense. I think this variable was poorly designed. The easiest thing to do is to change the default value of truncate-partial-window-width to nil, and deprecate it. But other suggestions are welcome.
