I'm not sure if I'll ever want to customize such a new variable
'exit-minibuffer-restore-window-configuration' to nil,
because sometimes it's desirable to restore a previous
window configuration, sometimes not.

But at least it could help to resolve the remaining problem in man.el,
if other solutions are not possible.
