Yup, fixed.

It would be a misnomer when the new per-buffer or per-window code gets
added which makes it possible to fine-tune the fringe. OTOH I kind
off like both better as well, but I think default is safer.

I changed it to set-fringe-style.

Right, done.
Does anyone have any opinions on the attached code?
I have one remaining question: How do you find out the default fringe
width? Right now it is hard coded to 10.
