Maybe that is a case where we want to delete windows. I am not quite
convinced yet.
However in that case I would still suggest showing one window
temporary and explain and give alternatives there. I can't see that it
is worse than just deleting the windows. Just deleting the windows
might look like a bug - or maybe just not be noticed, be confusing.
