Yet restoring a frame configuration does _not_ seem to restore deleted frames, neither on a text-only terminal nor under X. The code does not try to undelete deleted frames; on the contrary, it clearly expects this not to be done. So the manual is wrong. Would you like to fix the manual? Thanks for noticing this.
