@defun set-window-configuration configuration
This function restores the configuration of windows and buffers as
-specified by @var{configuration}, for the frame that @var{configuration}
-was created for.
-
-The argument @var{configuration} must be a value that was previously
-returned by @code{current-window-configuration}. The configuration is
-restored in the frame from which @var{configuration} was made, whether
-that frame is selected or not. In some rare cases this may trigger
-execution of the @code{window-size-change-functions} (@pxref{Window
-Hooks}) even if the size of windows did not change at all. The
-@code{window-configuration-change-hook} functions will be called if and
-only if at least one window was added to or deleted from the frame.
-
-If the frame from which @var{configuration} was saved is dead, all this
-function does is restore the three variables @code{window-min-height},
-@code{window-min-width} and @code{minibuffer-scroll-window}. In this
-case, the function returns @code{nil}. Otherwise, it returns @code{t}.

+If the frame from which @var{configuration} was saved is dead, all

+@code{minibuffer-scroll-window} and to adjust the value returned by

+@code{nil}. Otherwise, it returns @code{t}.
+
+If the buffer of a window of @var{configuration} has been killed since
+@var{configuration} was made, that window is, as a rule, removed from
+the restored configuration. However, if that window is the last
+window remaining in the restored configuration, another live buffer is
+shown in it.
