I'm worried that this is because the behavior emacs' "dedicated" windows
is a little flaky.  I've experimented with it before and noticed some
weirdnesses.

It's been working for me perfectly in this context, though.  I would
hate to see this patch not go through, cause I'm totally addicted to
this behavior at this point.

What if we just added a warning to the help message for the
customization variable that says the behavior with emacsclient might be
a little flaky?  Obviously people don't have to use this functionality,
so in that sense it doesn't hurt anyone to have it there if they just
don't use it, right?

jamie.
