I don't see that.  That function checks if the buffer is the same as
the one recorded in window's matrix.

I don't think you can do that, since sometimes a non-selected window
needs to be redisplayed.

Are the menu-bar and tool-bar "windows" non-leaf?

How is this different from this:

>          && w->current_matrix->buffer == b
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm nervous about this, to tell the truth.  redisplay_internal never
dependent on current_buffer.
