Fixed this redisplay bug: ** Problem with cursor border around images and window-margins: The border around the image when the cursor is on the image flows into the right fringe and margin. (progn (auto-image-file-mode 1) (find-file (concat data-directory "splash.xpm")) (set-window-margins (selected-window) 25 25))

Fetching a url with url-retrieve can reult in an anrbitrary buffer
being killed if a 401 (or possibly a 407) result is encountered:

url-http-parse-headers calls url-http-handle-authentication, 
which can call url-retrieve. 

This results in the current buffer being killed, and a new http buffer 
being generated. However, when the old http buffer is killed, emacs 
picks the top buffer from the list as the new current buffer, so by the 
time we get to the end of url-http-parse-headers, _that_ buffer is marked 
as dead even though it is not necessarily a url buffer, so next time the 
url libraries reap their dead buffers, an innocent bystander buffer is 
killed instead (and an obsolete http buffer may be left lying around too).

A possible fix (which I am currently using) is to call set-buffer
on the return value of url-http-parse-headers:

	 ;; Authorization header field.
	 (url-mark-buffer-as-dead (current-buffer))
	 (set-buffer (url-http-handle-authentication nil)))
etc ....

which makes sure that it is the right http buffer that is current when 
we come to mark the http buffers as dead.

Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
     (space 'left-margin)

A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
is encountered.

** Problem with cursor border around images and window-margins:

The border around the image when the cursor is on the image
flows into the right fringe and margin.

       (find-file (concat data-directory "splash.xpm"))
       (set-window-margins (selected-window) 25 25))


** Problem with modeline and window margins:

The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin,
