One more issue: Currently 'rotate-windows' and 'rotate-windows-back' are
the only functions in window-x.el to treat dedicated windows specially.
All others like 'window-layout-rotate-clockwise' or
'window-layout-transpose' don't care about dedicated windows so these
usually will "end up with a different size and position".
