I see no other way than calling this hook from 'set-window-configuration'.
The problem is that running the hook afterwards would be too late.
What I mean here is the annoying problem that when a buffer is killed,
then on restoring a window configuration its window is deleted.

This case could be fixed here with the same change as well.
When a window parameter will contain a lambda called from
'set-window-configuration', this lambda could do something useful
to preserve the window whose buffer was killed.  Something like
displaying a placeholder with a button to restore the buffer.

The same window parameter could be used in a window with
a reverted dired buffer to move point to a previous file name.
