Seems we sometimes think alike. ;-) [On a similar topic - with the same aim of saving window real estate, I sent a patch a year ago to let users _optionally_ fit the window to text that has been resized. Currently, if you shrink the text, then you get wasted space at the right. The patch lets you (optionally) automatically resize the window to recuperate that space for adjacent windows. No one was interested in the patch at that time. Maybe you would like to take another look? ;-) Thread `face-remap.el patch to resize window': http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-08/msg00414.html]
