What precisely do you mean here? `delete-window' should, in principle, delete its argument (unless it has a special `delete-window' parameter). > Any idea whether the new features in > windowing can handle this without advising a bunch of functions? Thanks. The basic idea is to do what you want without any advising. Meanwhile I have revised the assignment of side window parameters to handle window configuration management easier but I don't intend to incoporate these changes in 24.1. If you want to use them, I can send you a bundle or a separate file. (BTW, it would be nice if someone wrote code in order to handle > 1 speedbar buffers simultaneously.) martin
