I don't understand shrink_windows enough to make it less trigger-happy. From the code I only understand that a high value of `window-min-height' is an invitation to shoot silly windows. > As long as the user does not explicitly change the size of this precise > window (but instead resizes the whole frame, for example, or resizes > some other window), Emacs should do its best to avoid making the window > smaller than that threshold (so that it doesn't delete it). This thread started with an example where a window's height was explicitly set to a value smaller than the top-level value of that threshold. How should Emacs deal with that? How should Emacs deal with `gnus-window-min-height' or `emerge-one-line-window'? In another thread people discuss perspectives a la Eclipse. How should Emacs handle one- or two-lines windows in such "perspectives" when changing the window configuration? Should perspectives avoid one-line windows? Should Emacs be allowed to auto-delete them?
