Another user option, say `display-buffer-symbols'? The application would pass a symbol in the call and make sure it has an entry in the `display-buffer-specifiers' list which associates symbols like 'other-window with specifiers. ediff could add entries like 'ediff-A and 'ediff-B to `display-buffer-specifiers' and the user, in `display-buffer-symbols', could provide an entry to override them. But I'm not sure how to resolve the conflict when a matching entry can be found in both `display-buffer-names' and `display-buffer-symbols'. martin
