I argued that this will be confusing.  The user might ask: "Where did
my customizations disappear to?"  -- Since the user might not be aware
that the customizations would yield bad results on the new display,
this is a legitimate question.  Emacs will seem less "predictable"
(for lack of a better word to describe this aspect of usability).

Your reply did not address the issue.  You therefore assume this is no
problem?
