I did it differently after all. I added two new faces:

  `sldb-restartable-frame-line-face',
  `sldb-non-restartable-frame-line-face'.

The former is the face for frames that are surely restartable, the
latter for frames that are surely not restartable. If restartability of
a frame cannot be reliably determined, the face `sldb-frame-line-face'
is used.

At the moment, determination of frame restartability is supported
by the SBCL backend only.

In my setup, I've customized `sldb-restartable-frame-line-face' to a
greenish foreground. (Faces are conveniently customizable using `M-x
customize-face'.)
