You can bring back an entire previous layout by restoring a window configuration previously saved.'' (emphasis mine) As far as I can see (Emacs v22.0.91.1), narrowed regions are not restored by saved window configurations. I propose to change that. I think you've misunderstood that text in the manual. That's partly the fault of the text. I will make it clearer.
