Even though it's a slippery slope adding more DWIM here, I think the
proposed tweak makes sense.  It seems unlikely to break anything, and it
makes the common Emacs-under-screen case work better automatically.

So I think we should give it a go, but if it regresses anything, it
should be backed out again.  Pushed now.
