Yeah, I guess...  but...  is it really useful to restore the margins if
you display the same buffer in a (very) different frame?  (I'm thinking
gui vs. non-gui in an emacsclient setup.)

I think it would be natural to restore margins if the buffer is a window
in the same frame, but that's rather obscure, too.
