As it stands, your algorithm depends on `adjust-window-trailing-edge'
DTRT though.

And fixed-size windows. It's a pain. Some combinations of desired
window configuration / frame sizes do not even have a solution at all
(just like putting footnotes on pages): You can't put a cretain window
into a frame because it won't fit due to some restrictions; so you
decide to delete it. But if you delete it, the remaining windows won't
fit, so you put it back.
