I don't think that is enough, because when I want a "Gnus" window, that window might hold the group buffer, the summary buffer, an article, or a new message I am writing. I still think that pop-up-windows should just do what the doc-string says: "*Non-nil means display-buffer should make new windows." Is there anybody that uses a nil value for pop-up-windows and likes the way it works now (eg. sometimes the window is split after all)? Perhaps we should investigate why people set pop-up-windows to nil, and what their experiences are. If people like it, I suggest we go back to my suggestion: > Personally, I only need one new variable, and I'd probably like it for > *all* situations: (and pop-up-windows important-pop-up-windows).

If people don't like it, then we just remove the local bindings of pop-up-windows. Of course we'd still think carefully about every such occasion, but we'd agree that in general pop-up-windows should do what the doc-string says it does. Alex.
