I apologize for jumping in here out of the blue, and without even have read the (long) thread. (I don't use gdb.) I'd just like to say this - I use dedicated windows for all buffers, such as `*Messages*', that have names like `*...*', and I've long done so. For me, they are "special-display" buffers. I've never had any idea that one should not be able to split a dedicated window. And occasionally I've done so. To me, a window being dedicated is only about the association between a window and a buffer. It's not about also not being able to split or delete the window. I believe that's what the doc says too, and that's always been the behavior. Is there a good reason why that should change? I don't want to join a discussion about the question. I just wanted to mention my experience and raise the question, in case it hasn't been raised explicitly in the thread. If I had my druthers, I think I'd prefer that the behavior remain as it's been, and if someone needs something like a dedicated window that also cannot be split then we create something else for that. I know that Emacs has already created a second kind of dedication - weakly dedicated. Perhaps a third kind should be created to handle the (apparent?) use of case of strongly dedicated + unsplittable. Just a thought, in passing. The alternative of having a global variable whose current value determines whether _all_ dedicated windows are (currently) splittable, which is what I guess Richard suggested, seems worse to me. But I haven't followed the discussion, so I don't really appreciate the need, i.e., use case. I'll butt out now.
