Good.  We can use that (if we still need it).

It _should_ use NOFORCE anyway.  Otherwise, when, for example, the size
of the window we got the state from is much larger than the size of the
window we put the state in, window-point will end up in the wrong place.
And ‘window-point’ is definitively more important than ‘window-start’.

It should be fairly easy to construct such an example.

But do you mean that setting NOFORCE alone will handle your bug already
and we don't need ‘frame-after-make-frame’ after all?
