This would be funny when `pop-up-frames' is nil and a window gets reused
for showing the *Deletions* buffer.  In particular if that window is the
only window on its frame ;-)

BTW the `save-window-excursion' is completely useless when you pop up a
new frame.

Here I have a simple function called `quit-restore-window' which does
exactly that.

Because `one-window-p' calls `next-window' which I don't like.  See the
recent discussion about `loop' endlessly cycling over windows.
