I don't know 'swap-window-states' but if it uses 'window-state-get' and
'window-state-put' (which I happen to know quite intimately) the result
won't be any better than with the concept you cited earlier.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Whatever you do someone has to delete all "other" windows and start with
one specific live window that you subsequently split.

Try with the 'split-window' I posted earlier so you don't have to care
about buffers, decorations and the rest and can concentrate on geometry.
