Shouldn't you call 'dired-goto-file' last here?  Otherwise, wouldn't
'set-window-point' override it?

And how would you handle the general case where a directory gets
reverted in between saving and restoring a window configuration?  If you
don't want to use timestamps, saving and restoring window configurations
would have to provide some special hooks and data structures for storing
such extra information.
