We cannot tell this by asking the small number of people on this list. It would be necessary to conduct a poll. Perhaps we should investigate why people set pop-up-windows to nil, and what their experiences are. If we find a large number of people on this list who use pop-up-windows, then their views on this question would provide a significant sample. But if they are few, we need a larger sample. Personally, I only need one new variable, and I'd probably like it for *all* situations: (and pop-up-windows important-pop-up-windows). I would like to add such a new variable to Emacs, and use it wherever pop-up-windows is bound to t at the moment. This can't hurt, so perhaps this is the best way.
