My usual setup is to have two frames side-by-side and use the left-
hand frame as the main editting window and the right-hand frame as the
secondary and messages window. When I'm editing C code I like to keep
a *compilation* buffer visible on the right. Previously when I did an
M-x compile on the left emacs would only split the left-hand buffer if
the *compilation* buffer was not visible but now (since I upgraded) it
splits the buffer every time so I often end up with *compilation*
shown twice. Can I inhibit this behavior?
I've noticed that this happens with other some modes e.g prolog-mode
always splits the buffer when you C-c C-l a file.
Cheers,
Charlie

I don't know, but you may find it easier to just make sure the *compilation*
buffer is in its own frame:
(setq special-display-buffer-names
(cons "*compilation*" special-display-buffer-names))
