The problem is that any pointers to windows are made invalid ;; since they are deleted. So in fact any code that relies on saved ;; pointers to windows will have problem if the window is one of those ;; that are involved here. I was talking of modes that maintain a list of *overlays*, not windows, but this other point, though not mine, is also valid :) All in all, I think all this is complicated stuff for something that would perhaps be easier at the C level, without the need to delete and recreate windows. /L/e/k/t/u
