It's a relict from a > time when a frame used to contain at most two windows ... If it goes obsolete, what are the replacements available for requesting the same behavior? My use case is a frame with 2 windows, one below the other. The upper one is larger and shows the source file I'm editing, while the lower one is used to compose ChangeLog entries, run compilation and Grep, show *Help*, etc. I want this lower window to keep its height when I switch to another buffer there, or when Emacs pops a different buffer there.
