Dunno.  I don't even know what a "permanent" window is.  When you do
`C-x 3' is the new window permanent?

Apparently the OP would like the behavior to be similar to what `C-x 3'
does.  Is that what `display-buffer-below-selected' always does?  Perhaps
you'd like to post an answer to him directly on StackOverflow. 

Of if not, I can transfer any answer you provide here to him there.
But I would just be an uninformed middleman, as I'm no authority on
`display-buffer-below-selected' or `split-height-/width-threshold',
to put it mildly.
