Indeed.  Joost's fix also takes care of fringes, scroll bars and
dividers.

If we do not fix the code on the release branch I have to fix a couple
of doc-strings there telling that for historical reasons we do compare
apples and oranges.  Affected are ‘window-splittable-p’,
‘split-window-sensibly’ and ‘split-width-threshold’.  For the latter two
I'd have to amend the Elisp manual as well.
