Hrm, no this isn't good enough. For graphical windows we still need
to set the display text properties to align all tags when the buffer
initially loads. AFAICS there's currently no code to trigger this, so
it would need to be added, and for large files this might actually
cause problems with file loading time unless it was done in the
background (a bit like fontification can be done).
Advice on how to handle this best is very welcome.
