Can't remember what behavior I implemented (I use special-display-buffer-names for those buffers anyway, so I get 3 frames even with a vanilla Emacs), but the intention is for this not to be the case in order to preserve the current behavior (i.e. the M-x man simply uses one of the two existing windows, setting its dedicated flag to nil as a side-effect). >> It works great in my environment, don't know about others's. > It sounds just about perfect. Where can I get the patch? :-) It's lost in the middle of many other changes. See my monnier@iro.umontreal.ca--first/emacs--monnier--0 branch in my Arch archive at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~monnier/archives/first. Note that it's a branch I use only to sync my local version between diferent machines. It's not signed and can be broken and include temporary hacks/debugging things, some of them left around way past their due date. Probably a `tla changes --diffs miles@gnu.org--gnu-2005/emacs--trunk--0' followed by a good grep for `dedicated' will give you a good idea of what's been changed for this specific "feature". Stefan
